Chemical Stabilization of Laser Dyes.

Abstract

Coumarin laser dyes upon excitation degrade to produce products which absorb at the lasing wavelength. This results in attenuation of dye laser output. Modes of degradation of coumarin dye lasers under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions were determined and methods of stabilization of dye lasers were established. Originator furnished keywords include: Photochemistry, Lasers, Dyes, Stabilizers, Singlet oxygen, Chain transfer.
