Abstract

The authors report here streak camera studies of pulse-shortening effects in the grazing incidence cavity design, whereby the narrow bandwidth can be obtained without conventional intracavity beam expander optics. Using a commerical nitrogen laser having a pulse width of 650 ps, they observed continuously tunable dye laser pulses shorter than 100 ps with a bandwidth of less than 0. 05 nm. This represents a near-transform-limited result, and with amplification with the same nitrogen pump source, they expect to approach the 1-MW power level.
