Abstract
We report on the generation of tunable infrared picosecond pulses by a short-cavity dye laser system consisting of a short cavity, a three-stage amplifier, and a wavelength control unit. The laser emission is temporally, spectrally, and spatially resolved. The conditions for optimum performance are ascertained, and the output characteristics important to experimental applications are determined.
