Abstract: | We discuss the operation and performance of a ruby pumped infrared dye laser with a wide tuning range and a high out-put power. The longitudinally pumped infrared laser was operated in the Littrow configuration without an intracavity beam expander. The dye, IR 125, exhibited a tunability range that extended from 8325 Å to 9375 Å. The dye laser had a pulse duration of 20 ns and an output power of 12.5 MW with a 2.3 joule ruby pump. The maximum output power of the infrared laser was limited by the damage threshold of the tuning element. |
