SPECTRAL PROPERTIES OF PASSIVELY Q-SPOILED LASERS
Abstract
Experiments demonstrating stimulated emission of organic dyes in the visible region by pumping with laser second harmonic frequencies are described. The demonstration of efficient spectral narrowing and tunability over a wide spectral range in both liquid and solid organic dye lasers is described. A discussion is also given of experiments concerned with the photo and thermal response of polymethine dyes used for Q-spoiling the Nd lasers. Two articles, one published and one in press, both supported by this contract, are reproduced as appendices.
