High-efficiency high-energy flashlamp-pumped dye laser.
A flashlamp-pumped dye laser using barium sulfate or polytetrafluoroethylene powders as diffuse reflectors in a close-coupled pumping geometry is described. Long pulse pumping (~15 microsec) and use of a vacuumwalled dye cell gave an efficiency of 0.8%.
