This paper presents an experimental study on the effect of the pump energy and flow rate of the dye gain medium and one amplifier stage on the linewidth in a dye laser pumped by a frequency-doubled Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. A Fabry-P rot etalon and imaging camera-based arrangement interfaced with a personal computer (PC) is used to measure the linewidth of the 565 nm laser line.
