In this paper, an analysis of spectral variation of a high repetition rate dye laser by an optical inhomogeneity developed inside the gain medium is presented. The passive band-pass, responsible for bandwidth, set (in homogeneous medium) by dispersive optical element in its resonator is modulated by scale length of the inhomogeneity introduced in the gain medium. Inhomogeneities, introduced by temperature in laminar flow (at low Reynolds number) and fractional change in flow-induced scale length (at higher Reynolds number) have an effect on the wavelength of dye laser.
