Abstract

A fluctuation-free mercury arc lamp for the pumping of a cw alexandrite laser is reported. Thermal insulation of a cathode of the lamp permits 4-kW fully vaporized direct-current operation. Fluctuations owing to the pool of liquid mercury in conventional lamp tubes is completely avoided. A 17-W, cw alexandrite laser pumped by the newly developed lamp is described.
