title: Bandwidth and tuning range of an ArF laser measured by 1 + 1 resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization of NO.
abstract: The tuning range and bandwidth of an ArF laser were measured using 1 + 1 resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization of NO. Operated as an injection-seeded oscillator/amplifier combination, the tuning range was 51,560-51,810 cm(-1); operated with single pass amplification of the oscillator, the tuning range was 51,560-51,765 cm(-1). In both cases, the laser bandwidth, determined from the linewidth, was 0.21 +/- 0.06 cm(-1). Rotational lines in the beta(7,0), gamma(3,O), and epsilon(0,1) bands were observed including several previously unreported lines.
