Abstract

A dye laser oscillator for producing a tuned dye beam is disclosed herein and includes, among other components, a beam output coupling assembly, a dye cell assembly, a beam expander assembly, an etalon assembly, and a grating assembly. Each of three assemblies is vertically supported from a horizontal base so as to be readily removable from the base without interference from or interfering with the other assemblies. The particular grating assembly disclosed is specifically designed for proper optical alignment with the intended path of the dye beam to be produced and for accurate pivotal movement relative to the beam path in order to function as a coarse tuning mechanism in the production of the ultimately tuned beam.

Dye laser amplifier including a specifically designed diffuser assembly

Patent Davin, J ; Johnston, J P

A large (high flow rate) dye laser amplifier in which a continuous replenished supply of dye is excited by a first light beam, specifically a copper vapor laser beam, in order to amplify the intensity of a second different light beam, specifically a dye beam, passing through the dye is disclosed herein. This amplifier includes a dye cell defining a dye chamber through which a continuous stream of dye is caused to pass at a relatively high flow rate and a specifically designed diffuser assembly for slowing down the flow of dye while, at the same time, assuring that asmore »« less

Dye lasing arrangement including an optical assembly for altering the cross-section of its pumping beam and method

Patent O'Neil, Richard W ; Sweatt, William C

An optical assembly is disclosed herein along with a method of operation for use in a dye lasing arrangement, for example a dye laser oscillator or a dye amplifier, in which a continuous stream of dye is caused to flow through a given zone in a cooperating dye chamber while the zone is being illuminated by light from a pumping beam which is directed into the given zone. This in turn causes the dye therein to lase and thereby produce a new dye beam in the case of a dye laser oscillator or amplify a dye beam in the casemore »« less

Continuous-wave dye laser tunable by a holographic diffraction grating

Journal Article Balykin, V I ; Klose, E ; Mishin, V I ; ... - Sov. J. Quant. Electron. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

An investigation was made of the parameters of a cw dye laser tunable by a holographic diffraction grating (2040 lines/mm, first-order reflection R=85% at the wavelength of 580 nm). This grating was placed behind a semitransparent mirror and it produced an output line 10 pm wide; the use of an additional telescope reduced the line width to 2 pm. The emission wavelength was tunable over a range 20--25 nm wide (in the case of rhodamine 6 G). The emission wavelength was controlled simply by the position of the diffraction grating and the output power remained constant throughout the tuning range.more »« less
