Excitation Lasers
As already mentioned flashlamps, and several types of lasers, can be used to optically pump dye lasers. A partial list of excitation lasers include:
- Copper vapor lasers
- Diode lasers
- Excimer lasers
- Nd:YAG lasers (mainly second and third harmonics)
- Nitrogen lasers
- Ruby lasers
- Argon ion lasers in the CW regime
- Krypton ion lasers in the CW regime
