Abstract

The design and operating characteristics of a high average power copper vapour laser pumped dye amplifier which is injected with the 627.8 nm output of a gold vapour laser are reported. In these experiments both the CVL pump and GVL injection signals are obtained from a modified CVL plasma tube. Amplifier gain and efficiency as functions of both the pump and injection power, for a number of dyes and dye mixtures, were investigated. Amplifier efficiencies of 25% are reported for CVL pump powers of 4 W and GVL injection powers of only 50 mW.
