A Model of the Para-Terphenyl Dye Laser (Un Modele du Laser a Colorant Para-Terphenyl),

Abstract

A theoretical model for a Para-Terphenyl dye laser pumped by an excimer laser has been developed. A new set of reaction-rate coefficients for Para-Terphenyl has been established. The problem of spontaneous emission in a dye has been solved analytically. The numerical solutions of the laser equations agree closely with the experimental results reported in the literature. Use of our model resulted in the achievement of higher efficiencies and narrower linewidths than those previously reported. (Author)
