The critical alignment necessary for most dye lasers is minimized because the dye laser is entirely self-contained. The dye laser, operating at 18 Hz, produced intense broad band emission pulses of ~0.2-0.4 ns in the visible region.", pages = "18-19", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/sas/sas/1980/00000034/00000001/art00004", doi = "doi:10.1366/0003702804730835", keyword = "Lasers, Subnanosecond pulses, Lifetimes" }
