Abstract: The pumping characteristics of dye lasers using multiple dyes are discussed. It turns out that varying the dye concentration may change considerably the portion of the pump light spectrum which is effective in creating population inversion. Thus the effect of an energy transfer dye depends strongly on the concentration of the lasing dye. Multiple dye systems are shown to have larger tuning ranges than single dye systems, and should exhibit improved tuned linewidth as well as better dye stability. Experimental results are presented for a common dye combination (Rhodamine 6G and Coumarin 6). Measurements were made both by directly mixing the auxiliary dye with the lasing dye, and also by using the auxiliary dye as a fluorescent spectral filter placed between the pump light source and the laser cell; the results are compared.
