Abstract
One of the most attractive features of organic dye lasers is their ability to produce ultra-short optical pulses. Since the frequency bandwidth required to produce a pulse of picosecond duration is still much less than that of a typical dye emission band, a dye laser can be a source of wavelength-tunable picosecond pulses. Dye lasers are also the only devices at present capable of producing such pulses on a continuous, highly repetitive basis.
