Laser distributed feedback dye

The first dye laser generates 10-ps, 2-pJ, 365-nm pulses that pump a microscopic distributed feedback dye laser (DFDL) producing Fourier transform hmited 0.7-ps pulses at 616 nm. These DFDL pulses are amplified in two stages to give 100-pJ, diffraction-limited pulses. 

An alternative way is to use a ps laser pumping a distributed feedback dye laser. Such a system with two amplifier stages is shown in Fig. 4. By using a quenched distributed feedback system short pulses can be obtained even with a ns pump laser [39].

The application of a new picosecond laser system based on a mode-locked Nd YAG and a distributed feedback dye laser was demonstrated in paper [71].
