Tunable Compact Dye Laser with an Electrically Controllable Prism-Type Dye cell

On-chip tunable optofluidic dye laser

We demonstrate a chip-scale tunable optofluidic dye laser with Au-coated fibers as microcavity. The chip is fabricated by soft lithography. When the active region is pumped, a relatively low threshold of 6.7 μJ∕mm2 is realized with multimode emission due to good confinement of the cavity mirrors, long active region, as well as total reflectivity. It is easy to tune the lasing emission wavelengt...

Tunable, High-Power, Subpicosecond Blue-Green Dye Laser System with a Two-Stage Dye Amplifier

A two-stage dye amplifier design has been developed to amplify tunable, blue-green, subpicosecond dye laser pulses which are generated from a hybrid synchronously modelocked dye oscillator directly (800 fs) or shorter to 200 fs by a fiber compressor stage. This system has achieved single pulse energies of 2 mJ, with an amplified spontaneous emission content of less than 0.1%. Using 40 mJ of the...

Experimental cholelitholysis with the pulsed tunable dye laser.

This study evaluates the pulsed tunable dye laser with wavelength 504 nm, frequency 10 Hz, and pulse width 1.2 microseconds for cholelitholysis. Power of 10-40 kW was directed through a 250-microns quartz fiber optic to ablate 55 gallstones (removed from 14 patients). The fiber was positioned in direct contact with the stones under saline. Power delivery was begun at 10 kW and increased in 10-k...

3 Tunable Dye Lasers

A tunable picosecond dye laser for use in dioxin analysis.

A distributed-feedback dye laser with a quenching cavity was designed and constructed for generating a tunable picosecond pulse with a narrow spectral linewidth. This nearly transform-limited pulse was succeedingly amplified by a triple-pass off-axis amplifier. The pulse duration and the spectral linewidth were 60 ps and 9.4 pm, respectively. The amplified pulse was frequency-doubled by second-...
