Beam expanders for pulsed dye lasers. Comparative study of their performances

We show the results of a comparative study of the experimental performances of three representative beam expander prototypes. A practical method for designing a prism beam expander is described. Not only laser output characteristics, but also reliability and costs are discussed. The results are summ...

Description
Summary:We show the results of a comparative study of the experimental performances of three representative beam expander prototypes. A practical method for designing a prism beam expander is described. Not only laser output characteristics, but also reliability and costs are discussed. The results are summarized in a table.
