Abstract
A new dye laser pumping scheme is described in which molecules lying external to a waveguiding film are excited via evanescent fields from an optical pump contained in a waveguide. The excited molecules lying close to the surface then emit into a waveguide mode. An experiment is performed in which Rhodamine 6G in benzyl‐alcohol glycerol mixtures is excited by an optical evanescent field contained in a waveguiding film.Keywords
