Abstract
Generation of single, short, tunable UV pulses using a short-cavity dye laser (SCDL) with a novel simple cavity structure is described. A single 80-ps pulse has been obtained at the 616-nm wavelength from a rhodamine 640 dye laser pumped with a 2-ns N2 laser pulse. By amplifying and subsequent frequency-doubling, a 90-ps 308-nm pulse was generated, which can be used as a short-duration XeCl excimer laser source. The temporal characteristics of the SCDL pulse are compared to the numerical solutions of the coupled rate equations.
