The properties of flashlamp-and laser-pumped cresyl violet lasers emitting between 620 and 710 nm were studied. In mixed cresyl violet-rhodamine 6G solutions, the excitation efficiency was found to be enhanced by more than a factor of two, the major part of the excitation energy being supplied by the rhodamine 6G fluorescence radiation.Self-modelocking in a 3-component solution, containing cresyl violet, rhodamine 6G and a saturable absorber dye, was observed.
Average output powers of 3.5 W (broadband emission, 890-W pumping power) and 0.2 W (bandwidth 1.5×10−2 Å, 250-W pumping power) were obtained from repetitively pulsed flashlamp-pumped rhodamine 6G lasers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
