Investigation on Spectroscopic and Laser Properties of Pyrromethene and Perylene Chromophores in Elastic Polymeric Hosts

Abstract

In this work, two types of chromophore i.e. the pyrromethene and perylene families dyes were doped into elastic polymeric host materials based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), which had been widely employed in various applications. The solubilities, spectroscopic and laser properties of these dyes doped into PDMS matrices were systematically investigated. Tunable laser output with high conversion efficiencies and low laser thresholds were observed and calcu-* Dr. W. Lin E-Mail: linwx@zstu.edu.cn [a] Zhejiang Provincial
