Abstract
A method of increasing the injection-locking efficiency by external na rrow-band radiation relying on a space-frequency separation in a nonli near absorber (spectral contraster) placed into the high-power dye-las er cavity is proposed. It is shown that this method permits an increas e of the energy conversion efficiency into a narrow-band line (approxi mately 10(-3) nm) up to 90% with a laser output energy of about 1 J an d a pulse duration of more than 1 mus.
