Abstract :
The performance of a dye-switched, 15 cm × 0.95 cm ruby laser, pumped by two linear flashlamps, in a polished, double elliptical cavity is reported. The Q -switched output energy is examined under the step function Q -switch model. It is noted that the Q -switched output energy shows a linear dependence on the flashlamp input energy, at variance with the step function Q -switch theory, for a uniformly pumped laser. This anomaly is explained on the basis of non-uniform pumping. The energy ultilization factor using this theory is also reported.
