Kilohertz dye laser system for high resolution laser spectroscopy

J. H. Gurian, H. Maeda, and T. F. Gallagher We have electro-optically sliced the output light of a commercial Coherent Evolution Nd:YLF laser to pump a kilohertz repetition rate nanosecond dye laser system. Simple and highly adjustable, this laser system can easily be used for initial state preparation for ultrafast systems as well as high re ... [Rev. Sci.
