Abstract
Powerful and tunable lasers in the visible region are expected to be realized in the very near future, for the purpose of laser isotope separation and applications of tunable dye lasers, not only in our country but also in the United States and Europe. However, it is not so easy to realize both high power or energy and good tunability.
In this paper, we wish to report an investigation of verious types of high-power tunable dye lasers which can be used as a pumping source for atomic uranium isotope enrichment, and high power techniques of dye laser apparatus, especially flashlamp-pumped high energy dye lasers developed in our laboratory.
