摘要
Solid-state multiple-prism near grazing-incidence grating dye lasers have been configured in cavities as short as 73 mm using dye-doped modified PMMA gain media. Single-longitudinal-mode emission, in near-Gaussian temporal pulses of 6-7 ns (FWHM) duration, has been achieved. Measured laser linewidths are in the 375 MHz range, and beam divergence is similar to 2.3 mrad, at 3%-4% conversion efficiencies. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
