“…At that time, the most popular excitation sources were nitrogen (12) or frequency-doubled ruby lasers, used with or without a pulsed dye laser (13). Both devices had serious limitations with short-lived fluorophores.…”

“…The first attempts to develop solid-state dye lasers were reported in the late 1960s [1,2]. Ever since, there have been intensive efforts to achieve the incorporation of organic dyes in solid matrices that might replace conventional liquid dye lasers.…”

We present a compact solid-state laser based on leaky mode propagation from a dye-doped polymer free-standing film waveguide. The edge emitted spectrum clearly indicated the existence of periodic resonant modes. The reflections from the lateral faces of the free-standing film provided the optical feedback thus giving rise to a Fabry-Perot like optical cavity. This together with the guidance through the gain medium gave rise to intense narrow emission lines. For a pump energy of 1.82 mJ/pulse, an intense line with FWHM ∼0.4 nm was observed at 576.5 nm.

“…Most of the applications deal with the germicidal effects of UV for disinfecting a wide variety of organisms. This use has been suggested for airborne infections in hospitals, schools, and other places where large groups of people may congregate, such as human shelters during natural catastrophes (26,27); water purification for hunidifiers in hospitals (28); providing potable water supplies on transoceanic ships (29); and so forth. Intense sources of ultraviolet are used in photobiological research (30) and the use of ultraviolet in holography has been suggested (31).…”
