RESEARCH INVESTIGATION OF LASER LINE PROFILES

Abstract

The report covers work performed under Contract N00014-66-C0344 for the period 1 August 1967 through 31 January 1968. Experimental results are presented on the mode-locking of an organic dye laser, the optical rectification of mode-locked laser pulses, the measurement of nanosecond fluorescent decay times, the observation of light amplification in saturable absorbers, and the generation of a 60 MHz frequency-swept, Q-switched CO2 laser pulse. An analytical solution for 2 pi and 4 pi optical pulses and a theoretical prediction of adiabatic inversion of quantum states are presented.
