Abstract :
The properties of the rhodamine 6G flashlamp-pumped circulating dye laser with cyclooctatetraene and cycloheptatriene as triplet-state quenchers are described. Particular attention is given to such observables as pulse duration, frequency sweep, and early termination of the laser pulse. From the experimental results and the theory of dye lasers, it is concluded that the thermal effects may not play a dominant role in such lasers.
