title: Generation of single short tunable UV pulses using a simple short-cavity dye laser.
abstract: Generation of single, short, tunable UV pulses using a short-cavity dye laser (SCDL) with a novel simple cavity structure is described. A single 80-ps pulse has been obtained at the 616-nm wavelength from a rhodamine 640 dye laser pumped with a 2-ns N2 laser pulse. By amplifying and subsequent frequency-doubling, a 90-ps 308-nm pulse was generated, which can be used as a short-duration XeCl excimer laser source. The temporal characteristics coupled rate equations.
