The design and construction of a flashlamp-pumped frequency-doubled dye laser applicable to long path monitoring of air pollutants

The subject of this thesis is the development of a laser light source which could be used in an air pollution monitor to measure the average concentration of sulfur dioxide gas over long paths (>1 km). Many of the problems encountered in designing a long-path pollutant monitor such as instrument...
