A multiple laser operation in blue, green and orange spectral regions (3-colors) due to whispering-gallery mode (WGM) using dye-doped liquid spheres, by UV N2 laser pumping, was achieved. A technique of forming liquid spheres with stable droplet-size and fundamental characteristics concerning the energy-transfer effects in dye mixtures are also presented.
The significant effect of fat emulsion intralipid-10% mixing on lasing behaviors of liquid microdroplets was studied using rhodamine 6G dye. This highly scattering medium allows one to make the high-gain laser dye-soft scatterers microsystems that can provide well-defined lasing threshold and one-order or more magnitude enhancement of emission intensity with suitable (optimum) conditions of the mixing ratio, in comparison with original neat-dye lasing microdroplets. We also present and discuss the measured results of input–output intensities for different dye concentrations and dye-intralipid mixing ratios, and microscope images of spatial distribution of emission from both the microdroplets containing neat-dye and dye-intralipid mixture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
