Abstract
A repetitively pulsed dye laser employing a reflective intracavity beam expander achieves a 50-MHz full width at half-maximum (FWHM) linewidth. A geometrical technique for partially correcting the expander astigmatism and maintaining cavity stability is derived. The use of reflective cavity elements minimizes cavity losses and eliminates spurious reflections.
