ABSTRACT:
A line narrowing system in which a polarizing beam splitter, a polarization rotator and a reflecting optic are configured to cause light in an expanded beam from a laser gain medium to illuminate a grating at least twice in each pass through the line narrowing system before returning to the gain medium for further amplification. In a preferred embodiment, the grating is an echelle grating arranged in a Littrow configuration.
