Pulsed dye laser with an intracavity nonlinear mirror utilizing a photorefractive crystal

The first pulsed dye laser with an intracavity self-induced nonlinear mirror formed in a photorefractive crystal. This nonlinear mirror could be employed as a spectral selector. Equalization of the intensities of the spectral components was observed in the case of multifrequency lasing in a system comprising a pulsed dye laser and a photorefractive crystal.
