Abstract
A new configuration for flash‐pumped dye lasers is presented. A coaxial dye cell with internal excitation is used and 2% efficiency is feasible. Optical cavity deterioration produced by thermally induced refractive index gradients is compensated by the coaxial geometry, and low‐loss guided propagation results without any recirculation of the dye solution.Keywords
