Monitoring of the Gadolinium Photoionization Process by Using Fluorescence Measurements

Study of output power of very high pulse repetition rate (18 kHz) dye laser pumped by frequency doubled diode pumped Nd: YAG laser (λ~ 532 nm)

“…Experimental investigations on the single advanced CVL (Cu-HBr laser) pumped dye laser is reported for an 18 kHz repetition rate [20]. DPSSL can be a more attractive alternative than CVL due to its high efficiency, compactness, robustness, reliability, simplicity in operation and low cost [21,22]. Jonghoon et al have reported a single-mode pulsed dye laser pumped by using a diode pumped Nd:YAG laser with a long pulse duration of 700 ns with 7 kHz PRR [22].…”

Jonghoon et al have reported a single-mode pulsed dye laser pumped by using a diode pumped Nd:YAG laser with a long pulse duration of 700 ns with 7 kHz PRR [22]. To the best of the authors' knowledge, a study of dye laser output power with a DPSSL pump beam of high PRR (18 kHz), high pulse energy and short pulse duration is not available in the published literature.…”
