High Efficiency Picosecond Pulse Generation in the 675-930 NM Region from a Dye Laser Synchronously Pumped by an Argon-Ion Laser.

Abstract

Picosecond pulses tunable from 675 to 930 micrometers have been obtained from a dye-laser synchronously pumped at 514.5 micrometers by a mode-locked Argon-ion laser. Peak energy conversion efficiencies between 10% and 29% are observed with pulse durations between 1.7 ps and 16 ps as measured by autocorrelation. (Author)
