Abstract
A single longitudinal mode CW AlGaAs semiconductor laser (786 nm) has been pulse-amplified in a Nd:YAG-pumped dye system by 80 dB, yielding 4 ns (FWHM), infrared pulses having energies of 1.2 mJ. These amplifie d pulses have then been frequency-doubled in a KDP crystal to yield 11 0 mu J of tunable ultraviolet radiation at 393 nm. The amplified diode laser linewidth at 786 nm is measured to be 118 MHz.
