A fluid handling system for a dye laser comprises a local dye reservoir 38 suitable installation local to said laser 30, the local dye reservoir 38 being operable to store a laser dye for supply to said dye laser. Local pumping means 36 are operable to draw laser dye from the local reservoir 38 at a flow suitable for use by the dye laser 30. A bulk reservoir 42 is operable to store laser dye, the bulk reservoir 42 being in fluid communication with the local reservoir 38, and bulk pumping means 44 are operable to cause supply of laser dye from the bulk reservoir 42 to the local reservoir 38 as the need arises. When used on a ship, the bulk reservoir 42 may be below deck, and the local reservoir 38 and laser may be on an upper deck. This reduces the likelihood of instability. |
