Variation of the temporal delay to threshold in nanosecond-tunable dye lasers

Not Accessible

Abstract

We present an experimental study, complemented by numerical simulations, of the delay from the peak of the pump pulse to threshold of the dye laser pulse as a function of the selected wavelength. Delay variations of up to 0.2 nsec/nm were observed in Rhodamine dyes pumped by a N2 laser. We conclude that the variations are intrinsic to the gain–loss characteristics and that excited-state singlet absorption can play a significant role.
