Abstract

A KrF excimer laser was operated on two independently tunable lines. This was achieved by a double-resonator configuration with two gratings. Tuning range and gain competition were investigated. The narrow line width (<1 cm−1) and the independent tunability make this laser ideal for simultaneous spectroscopic detection of two species and temperature measurements in combustion processes.
