LONGITUDINALLY PUMPED DYE LASER ARRANGEMENT

摘要

A longitudinally pumped dye laser arrangement is disclosed. The arrangement comprises a unitary optical device, a container for a lasing medium dye solution and a reflector for reflecting lasing radiation towards the unitary optical device. The dye solution is located between the unitary optical device and the reflector. The reflector is proximate the dye solution. The unitary optical device is positioned relative to the container to focus a pumping beam into the dye solution and to collimate lasing radiation emerging from the container into an essentially parallel beam. This arrangement provices an economical and easily aligned longitudinally pumped dye laser.
