Decreasing the divergence of high-gain lasers

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method of reducing the divergence of high gain laser by placing an anamorphic prism beam expander in the cavity is described, which can be used in excimer and copper vapour lasers as well.

Analysis of a noncavity laser with magnifying optics in front of the high-reflectivity mirror

TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of a noncavity laser with a magnifying optical element placed in front of the high-reflectivity mirror is analyzed using ray matrix analysis, and a general formula for estimating the divergence is derived.

Variation of Beam Divergence as a Function of Discharge Gap Distance for a Nitrogen Laser

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple geometrical method is used for divergence determination of a TEA N2 laser using beam cross-section (rectangle) monitoring on the fluorescence paper and a simple geometric method is determined.

Coherent radiation from a nitrogen laser

TL;DR: In this paper, a spatially coherent oscillator at 337 nm was made by placing a nitrogen discharge inside an unstable resonator of high magnification, achieving an energy of 205 μJ with 100 μJ in a diffraction-limited spot.

Coherent uv from a TEA N2 laser system

TL;DR: In this paper, a technique was described to couple and synchronize two transversely excited atmospheric (TEA) nitrogen lasers in an oscillator-amplifier configuration to obtain spatially coherent 1nsec pulses at 337 nm with an energy/pulse of several hundred microjoules.

Single-frequency emission from a nitrogen laser

TL;DR: In this article, single-frequency stimulated emission was obtained from a selective resonator of a nitrogen laser operating in the super-radiance regime, where the stochastic structure of the spectrum was destroyed and the emission at the external-signal frequency.
