    Background:

    • Traditional holographic systems often face limitations in coherence length and stability.
    • Achieving reliable, fringe-free holograms requires precise control over laser parameters.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a holographic ruby laser with an extended fringe-free coherence length.
    • To enable precise timing and double-pulse operation for holographic applications.
    • To improve the reliability and reduce the stringent requirements for producing high-quality holograms.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an electrooptically Q-switched holographic ruby laser.
    • Implemented a three-surface resonant reflector and a flowing-dye solution to limit oscillation to a single axial mode.
