Abstract
A long rare-gas halide excimer light source excited by a capacitively coupled discharge pumps a dye laser with high efficiency in a configuration matched to the length of the discharge.
Claims3
A dye laser system comprising:
- a dye gain medium;
- means for resonating optical radiation in said gain medium;
- and
- means for optically pumping said gain medium, characterized in that;
- said means for optically pumping said gain medium includes a capillary flash tube containing an excimer gas mixture;
- means for generating an electrical lamp pulse;
- and
- means for capacitively coupling said lamp pulse through said excimer gas mixture.
