Abstract: A kinetic investigation was made of the operation of a distributed-feedback dye laser with a static phase grating in the travelling pump-wave regime. It was found that the use of a travelling pump wave makes it possible to implement unidirectional generation of a single ultrashort pulse of duration several times less than in the case of the traditional system of a distributed-feedback laser with lateral pumping.
