Abstract The dependence of the optical quality of water and of higher viscosity jet streams on the flow velocity and the geometry of the nozzle is investigated. It was found that disturbing thickness fluctuations can be reduced by the use of thin jet streams with solvents of high viscosity and by working at an experimentally determined optimum flow velocity. The linewidth of a cw jet stream dye laser with a water-Ammonyx and an ethylene glucol solution was measured to be 9 MHz and 3.3 MHz, respectively. The linewidths were independent of the pump power.
