ABSTRACT:
A dye laser (FIG. 1, 5 or 6) includes a pumping laser source (e.g. 11), an optical resonator (e.g. 13-15), and a dye solution or dye cell (e.g. 12) disposed in the path of the pumping laser light in the resonator. The dye cell disclosed herein comprises a pair of closely spaced transparent discs (21). A motor (26) serves to spin the discs at a high rate of speed. The pumping laser light in the resonator is focused on the discs at a predetermined angle (i.e. the Brewster angle). New, unbleached dye is injected axially with respect to the discs so that the spin force causes a radial flow of the dye solution between the spinning discs and, of course, past the pumping laser light spot.
