ANALYSIS OF A DYE LASER TUNED BY ACOUSTO-OPTIC FILTER

Abstract

A model of a dye laser electronically tuned by an acousto‐optic filter is analyzed. Chirping modes are superposed to yield a steady‐state periodic solution which predicts a shift of the spectrum to the high end of the filter band and appreciable spectral narrowing. For the example considered, the theory predicts a narrowing factor of 100.
