Description
Summary:The effects of pump polarization on the performance of cw dye lasers have been investigated. A recently developed semiclassical model for synchronously pumped mode-locked dye lasers is adapted to the problem of cw dye-laser oscillation, and analytic expressions are obtained for the relationship between the pump power, pump polarization, and dye-laser output power. The theoretical results are compared with experimental data obtained using an argon-laser-pumped rhodamine 6G dye laser.
