Dye Lasers

390-435nm (stilbene), 460-515 nm (cumarina 102), 570-640nm (rodammina 6G) e molti altri

Other laser, flashlamp

Research, spectroscopy, birthmark removal, isotope separation. The tuning range of the laser depends on

which dye is used.

Close-up of a table-top dye laser based on Rhodamine 6G, emitting at 580 nm (yellow-orange). The emitted laser beam is visible as faint yellow lines. The orange dye solution enters the laser from the left, and is pumped by a 514 nm (blue-green) beam from an argon laser. The dye jet is in the center of the image, behind the yellow window.
