A High Efficiency, Unstable Resonator, Dye Laser Module.

Abstract

The performance characteristics of an unstable resonator, rhodamine 6G dye laser module were measured and analyzed. Spectral conversion efficiency of excitation by the second-harmonic of a 10 pulse per second, Q-switched Nd:YAG laser to yellow-green dye laser emission exceeded 40 percent. Beam quality of the dye laser emission was measured to be within two-times diffraction limited. (Author)
