Abstract

It is believed for a long time that optical quality of liquid gain-medium (dye solution) of high pulse-repetition-frequency dye laser is degraded by its turbulent flow but so far this belief is not verified by direct experiment. We have devised a novel experiment to study the exclusive effect of turbulent flow on the optical quality of the dye solution pumped by copper vapour laser. The experiment, based on interferometry, shows that the turbulent flow does not degrade the optical quality of the flowing dye solution.
