DUAL-WAVELENGTH OPERATION OF A SELF-SEEDED DYE LASER OSCILLATOR

摘要

We demonstrate simultaneous dual-wavelength operation of a self-seeded dye laser. The laser cavity consists of one dye cell, two pairs of grating and tuning mirrors, and two reflecting mirrors. This configuration can be decomposed with two grazing-incidence cavities and a standing-wave cavity. The self-seeded dual-wavelength output beams are collinear and independently tunable. We were able to vary the output powers at the two wavelengths smoothly by changing the cavity length of a master oscillator. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America [References: 14]
