A tunable pulsed dye laser was operated in a single longitudinal mode by injection locking with a cw ring dye laser. A doubled Nd:YAG laser was used as the pumping source. Phase sensitive detection technique was applied to maintain the required match between the master laser frequency and the slave resonator cavity length. The fluctuation of the center frequency of the pulsed laser was < 10 MHz, and the pulse duration (FWHM) was 6 ns. The linewidth measured by scanning confocal interferometer was 130 MHz. When pumped by 50 mJ of the doubled Nd:YAG laser, the output energy of the pulsed dye laser was 2 mJ and the peak power was 330 kW. 30 kW.

The spatial flatness of dye jet depending on the Reynold's number has analyzed by using a Michelson interferometer. When the Reynold's number of dye jet was 600, the flatness of the flow was the best. Under this condition, the dye laser with Littman-type configuration has been operated in a single longitudinal mode at the pumping energy of 0.5~1.0 mJ/pulse. The conversion efficiency and beam divergence were 4.7% and 3 mrad, respectively. ively.

A flashlamp pumped Ti: sapphire laser was designed and fabricated in the laboratory. In order to find out the optimum pumping condition, three kinds of discharge circuits of which the pulse width are 10${\mu}s$, 45${\mu}s$, 65${\mu}s$ were designed. The fluorescent energy converter LD-490 of which the fluorescence spectra is coincident to the absorption band of Ti: sapphire was used to improve the laser efficiency. The laser output characteristics for three different concentrations of LD-490 and for three different pumping pulse widths were measured. As a result, the shorter the flashlamp pulse width, the higher the overall efficiency was achieved. When pumping light pulsewidth was 10${\mu}s$, the best efficiency was obtained at the concentration 1.0${\times}10^{-3}$mol/l of LD-490 dye. At lower concentrations the efficiencies were decreased.

We studied experimentally the angular spectrum of the light emitted from dye Molecules near a plane boundary. It is confirmed that the molecules near the boundary can emit light into the evanescent wave mode, and the light emission with the angle greater than the critical angle is detected with good accuracy. The angular spectrum of the spontaneous radiation is measured, and the spectrum shows contributions from the molecules both near and far away from the boundary. The polarization dependence and the pumping angle dependence are also measured. The experimental results are in good agreement with quantum theory.

A Ti:Sapphire laser pumped by the HCP has been designed and fabricated to study the optimal pumping conditions for lasing. The fluorescence energy converter LD-490 has been used. The result showed that the threshold energy of Ti:Sapphire laser is 1.39 KJ and the best efficiency is $7.13{\times}10^{-3}$% at the concentration $1.0{times}10^{-3}$ Mol/l of LD-490 dye. However, the efficiencies were decreased with the decrease of dye concentrations. The maximum output energy was obtained at 50 Torr Ar pressure, when the input voltage was 15 kV. As a convert dye, BBQ, was added to LD-490 with the rate of 1:1, the output energy was increased, whereas the thereshold energy was decreased as 1.17 kJ.

The output energy of Rh-6G dye laser was enhanced by the energy transfer in the mixture of Rh-6G and C-545. The laser was pumped by coaxial flashlamp filled argon gas. The optimum concentration of Rh-6G was $10_-4mol/l$ without mixing. The output energy was enhanced about 70 % at 0.4 % C-545 mixture with respect to the concentration of Rh-6G. The peak output power and the output energy were 27 kW and 50 mJ at the pumping energy of 346 J.

The charateristics of switching between two modes in a ring dye laser has been analyzed by the Monte-Carlo computer simulation. The effect of including pump fluctuations in the first-passage-time (FPT) distributions was compared with the distribution with the quantum fluctuation. The results show the same tendency in both cases, such as steep increases from 0 to peak an exponential decrease in long time range. However the introduction of pumping fluctuation is turned out to shorten the mean FPT. The variation of the mean FPT is examined for the various fluctuationrelated parameters. The mean FPT is lengthened when pump parameter a is increased while it is shorted when Q. $\GAMMA$ are decreased. eased.
