Efficient cavity dumped dye laser.
A theoretical and experimental investigation of cavity dumped flashlamp pumped dye lasers is described. Theory predicts that pulse time compressions of the order of 10-20 can be obtained without loss in energy efficiency. Experimental confirmation was obtained with a coaxial flashlamp dye laser. Over 300 mJ of output was obtained in a 20-nsec pulse at 490 nm.
