Abstract
Recent progress on experiments studying multimode instabilities in cw ring dye lasers is reviewed. The multimode instability that was first observed by Hillman etal.1 is shown to occur over a wide range of laser parameters. Parameters studied include pump power, cavity dispersion, and cavity lifetime2.
