Fundamentals and design principles are presented for the generation of interferometrically flat jets of viscous fluids. The jet quality is optically analyzed and nozzle performance investigated in cw single-mode dye laser operation. A nozzle providing a dye jet with an optically flat area of 9 mm/sup 2/ is described. It produces a single-mode bandwidth of approx.5 MHz without any active stabilization.
