CW single-frequency ring laser, model "TIS/DYE-SF-07" 570-700/695-1050 nm, output > 1.5 W (10 W pump), linewidth 5 MHz (Ti:Sapphire) / 10 MHz (Dye), smooth scanning 5/6 GHz or 25/30 GHz.
The single-frequency CW ring laser TIS/DYE-SF-07 is an original embodiment of new ideas on optimal combination of solid-state (Ti:Sapphire) and (liquid) Dye lasers in one single unit. Switching of TIS/DYE-SF-07 from the Ti:Sapphire to the Dye laser operation and vice versa is performed by exchange of some cavity elements in which the majority of alignment controls, part of optical elements, and the electronic control unit remain the same for both lasers.

In model TIS/DYE-SF-07 such double optical set-up has been for the first time implemented on the basis of a ring cavity with horizontal orientation. This horizontal orientation of the resonator plane for both lasers allows compact arrangement of the cavity elements on a rigid and massive vibro-isolated base of TIS/DYE-SF-07, which ensures very high stability
of the generation parameters of both the Ti:Sapphire and Dye lasers.
The single-frequency ring laser TIS/DYE-SF-07 is a passively stabilised laser, its output linewidth in the Ti:Sapphire configuration being about 5 MHz rms and in the Dye one, 10 MHz rms. Active frequency stabilisation
performed through an external thermo-stabilised cavity is available in model TIS/DYE-SF-077; it provides short-time linewidth less than 100 kHz rms
for Ti:Sapphire and Dye lasers.
