Abstract
Use of truncated stimulated Brillouin scattering (TRUBS) as a relatively simple method for production of subnanosecond laser pulses has been reported recently.1·This technique was developed originally with a very narrow linewidth (0.0004-Å) UV source based on a ring dye laser; however, subsequent studies have revealed that the linewidth requirements can be satisfied with much less complex systems. Both a line narrowed excimer oscillator2 and a pulsed dye laser system with a linewidth in the 0.1-cm−1 range have now been used to produce subnanoseoond TRUBS pulses.
