Influence of chemical impurities on the performance of a flashlamp-pumped dye laser
Abstract
The presence of ⩽ 5% chemical impurities in Rhodamine 6G [Cl-] is shown to decrease the fluorescence quantum efficiency, increase the self-absorption cross-section, reduce lasing efficiency and shorten the usable lifetime of the lasing solution.
