This report describes an effort aimed at developing a more efficient flash-lamp for pumping blue laser dyes. The work was supported by the Navy as part of their program to develop laser sources which operate in the blue-green transmission band of sea water. The effort was based on the possible use of mercury lamps of the high pressure capillary type (AH6), with and without spectral additives. A wide range of operating conditions were explored. Those found most suitable for pumping Rh6G gave no better performance than xenon lamps, and tests designed to evaluate their use for pumping blue laser dyes also showed no evidence of improved performance. Additives for the spectrally enhanced lamps were chosen by means of a computer program. In general, the spectra of the additives conformed in a general way to those predicted by the program. However, operating difficulties primarily arising from lamp instabilities, precluded the useful application of these additives. An alternative approach, based on molecular radiators, is proposed.
