dye laser pump
1Dye laser — Close up of a table top dye laser based on Rhodamine 6G, emitting at 580 nm (yellow orange). The emitted laser beam is visible as faint yellow lines. The orange dye solution enters the laser from the left, and is pumped by a 514 nm (blue green)… …
2Laser pumping — is the act of energy transfer from an external source into the gain medium of a laser. The energy is absorbed in the medium, producing excited states in its atoms. When the number of particles in one excited state exceeds the number of particles… …
3Laser construction — A laser is constructed from three principal parts:*An energy source (usually referred to as the pump or pump source ), *A gain medium or laser medium , and *Two or more mirrors that form an optical resonator . Pump sourceThe pump source is the… …

5laser — /lay zeuhr/, n. Physics. a device that produces a nearly parallel, nearly monochromatic, and coherent beam of light by exciting atoms to a higher energy level and causing them to radiate their energy in phase. Also called optical maser. [1955 60; …
6Laser safety — A typical laser warning symbol. Laser safety is safe design, use and implementation of lasers to minimize the risk of laser accidents, especially those involving eye injuries. Since even relatively small amounts of laser light can lead to… …
7Nitrogen laser — A 337nm wavelength and 170 µJ pulse energy 20 Hz cartridge nitrogen laser A nitrogen laser is a gas laser operating in the ultraviolet range[1] (typically 337.1 nm) using molecular nitrogen as its gain medium, pumped by an electrical… …
8Solid-state laser — A solid state laser is a laser that uses a gain medium that is a solid, rather than a liquid such as in dye lasers or a gas as in gas lasers. Semiconductor based lasers are also in the solid state, but are generally considered as a separate class …
9Copper vapor laser — (CVL) uses vapors of copper as the lasing medium in a 3 level laser. It produces green laser light at 510.6 nm and yellow laser light at 578.2 nm. The pulse width is typically from 5 to 60 ns, and peak power from 50 to 5000 kW. Its pulse… …
10Nd:YAG laser — with lid open showing frequency doubled 532 nm green light Nd:YAG laser rod …
