Abstract :
Dyes dissolved in viscous solvents can be pumped through simple nozzles to provide flowing thin streams of dye solution having excellent optical quality and stability over substantial areas. Such free flows, used in CW dye lasers instead of confined flows through thin cells, yield reduced lasing thresholds and superior long-term stability.
