Abstract: We report a new configuration of a picosecond distributed feedback

dye laser system, which can be pumped by various wavelengths. The optical

characteristics of the system are presented. By using a triangle mirror functioned

beam splitter and a right-angle prism attached to the front face of the cell in the

pumping geometry, continuously and widely tunable laser wavelengths have

been obtained for a range of more than 100 nm. A quenching mirror adhered to a

face on the side of the cell, functioning as a high-Q cavity shared common gain

medium, has been employed to observe single short laser pulses with transform￾limited bandwidth. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
