Solid state dye lasers based on LDS 698 doped in modified polymethyl methacrylate

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Broad band solid state dye lasers based on LDS 698 doped in modified polymethyl methacrylate (MPMMA) with laser wavelength about 650nm were demonstrated. It was demonstrated that the fluorescence spectra of LDS 698 in solid host MPMMA displays an obvious blue shift about 50nm comparing with that in ethanol solution. The dye concentration has great effect on the laser's performance including laser slope efficiency and lifetime. The lifetime increased dramatically with the increase of the LDS698 concentration. With pump repetition rate of 10Hz and intensity of 0.1J/cm2, the maximum lifetime 300,000 shots corresponding normalized photostability 102GJ/mol was obtained with LDS 698 at 1.5×10-4mol/L.
