AMPLIFICATION OF TUNABLE HIGH REPETITION PICOSECOND PULSE FROM SHORT CAVITY DYE LASERS

It is reported here that synchronous amplification and tuning of 30ps pulses from the short cavity dye laser pumped by copper bromide laser have been achieved by a dye amplifier-dispersion system. It can be tuned continuously from 570 to 590nm to be almost Fourier-transform limited when using Rh6G solution.
