Abstract

The effect of temperature gradients from absorption of the pump energy in jet-stream dye lasers is investigated photographically. The pictures show definite crescent-shaped patterns (representing serious astigmatism) for the lower jet-stream velocities, and some interferences even at the highest velocities. The sources of heating are discussed and the results coordinated with theoretical predictions.
