Continuously tunable energy transfer laser operation in four-dye mixture systems
Abstract
Theoretical as well as experimental investigation of the energy transfer dye laser (ETDL) operation has been performed, aimed at development of a dye laser which covers a wide wavelength range without exchanging a dye mixture. The following two dye mixtures are shown to be very effective: Rhodamine 6(R6G)-Safrain T(ST)-Cresyl Violet (CV)-Nile Blue(NB) and Coumarin 1 (C1)-Acriflavine(A)-Uranine(U)-R6G. Their desirable dye concentrations are derived and the tuning characteristics are measured. Continuous tuning was achieved over 130 nm in either case, and hence almost the entire visible range is covered with these two ETDL's.
