Abstract Calibrated spectral measurements of the light emitted by a pulsed high-pressure mercury capillary lamp are presented. These pulsed lamps have been used in a previous work to pump a Rhodamine 6G laser. The measurements presented here show a very high efficiency in the blue and near UV part of the spectrum, suggesting that these lamps represent a very attractive pumping source for dye lasers emitting in the blue. In particular, as an example, a computation has been made for a basic solution of 4-MU yielding a spectral efficiency of 24%.
