Abstract
A compact high-brightness solid-state dye laser, consisting of a nonco nfocal unstable resonator formed of a planar mirror and a gradient-ref lectivity mirror, is modeled by use of ray-tracing analysis. Collimate d 80-mJ output was obtained in a 10-mm mrad beam. (C) 1995 Optical Soc iety of America
