    Tunable single-frequency ultraviolet generation from a continuous-wave Ti : sapphire laser with an intracavity PPLN frequency doubler

    We report a single-longitudinal-mode continuous-wave Ti : sapphire ring laser that is intracavity frequency doubled in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN). Using a multi-grating PPLN crystal, the second ...

    Efficient distributed feedback solid state dye laser with a dynamic grating

    We present the first operation of a distributed feedback solid state dye laser with a dynamic, pump-induced grating. Broadly tunable, narrow band operation in the region of 616 nm (604–649 nm) has been demonst...
