Characteristics of organic dye lasers as tunable frequency sources for nanosecond absorption spectroscopy

Abstract
The properties of 1, 1' diethyl-γ-cyano-2,2'-di-carbocyanine-tetrafluoroborate (DTCDCT)and 1, 1'-diethyl-γ-nitro- 4, 4'-di-carbocyanine-tetrafluoroborate (DTNDCT) lasers have been investigated. High-efficiency (25 percent) spectral narrowing of the normal 150-Å-wide, 2-MW output of DTCDCT (around λ 7600 Å) to -1 of the λ 7699-Å resonance line was detected for a ruby laser perturbing field of power density ∼ 30 MW/cm -2 .
