ABSTRACT:
A dye laser is disclosed wherein a plastic disk containing laser dye is moved within a cylindrical race relative to a stationary pumping laser beam such that the pumping beam effectively scans the surface of the laser disk along a cycloidal path as the disk rolls along the race surface. The cycloidal illumination pattern on the disk enables a significantly increased amount of laser material to be exposed to the pumping beam.
