Spectroscopic Applications of Integrated Tunable Solid-State Dye Laser

Integration of plastic waveguide lasers on film and its application

“…12,13 Eleven kinds of laser dyes and 3 kinds of dye mixtures were evaluated. Figure 4 shows the whole spectral coverage.…”

Unprecedented solid-state laser action from BODIPY dyes under UV-pumping radiation

“…To date, progress in host material processing has led to highly efficient and photostable tunable SSDL in the green-red (550-750 nm) spectral region based on polymeric matrices doped with organic dyes [1]. The high photostability demonstrated with these materials ensures long operating lifetimes of the active laser media with output power characteristics being on a par with those obtained in liquid solutions [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Nevertheless, these SSDL systems only could reach their commercial marketplace in a wide range of applications spanning different fields such as spectroscopy, nonlinear optics, medicine, communication and industry [12,13], if they offer the same wavelength coverage reached with liquid dye lasers.…”

Novel exposure system using light-emitting diodes and an optical fiber array for printing serial numbers and code marks

“…If light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are used as exposure sources, a system is realized without using both mercury lamps and LCD reticles, and great advantages of simplifying the system and reducing running costs are brought. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Considering these benefits, a novel exposure system using LEDs and an optical fiber matrix array is investigated here.…”
