Narrow-Linewidth Laser Oscillators and Intracavity Dispersion
F.J. Duarte, Eastman Kodak Company Rochester, New York
1. INTRODUCTION
Efficient tunable narrow-linewidth emission is intimately related to intracavity dispersive configurations. Intracavity dispersive assemblies integrated by multiple-prism arrays and gratings form an essential part of narrow-linewidth pulsed oscillators. However, their importance and significant contribution extend beyond the pulsed regime and into the continuous-wave (cw) mode of oscillation. Further, these dispersive oscillator configurations have been shown to be successful and are widely applied to lasers in the gaseous, liquid, and solid states. Hence, the description and discussion of tunable dispersive ...
