Description

Proceedings for the Photonics West LASE conference 2023.

This work presents the demonstration of a pulsed dye amplifier seeded by a commercially available cw Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO). The performance of this system was compared with competing setups using a cw dye laser seed source as well as a frequency mixing technique using a combination of an injection-locked Ti:Sa and a Nd:YVO4 laser.  Suitability for on-line experiments was validated by performing high-resolution spectroscopy of radioactive silver isotopes at the CRIS experiment at ISOLDE, CERN.
