1.3.2 Dye Doped Organic Lasers
Table 1.3.1 summarizes the different polymer and molecular crystal hosts and organic dopants that have been used to demonstrate laser
action. If the laser has been tuned over a range of wavelengths, the tuning range given is that for the experimental configuration and
conditions used and may not represent the extremes possible. The lasing wavelength and output of dye lasers depend on the characteristics
of the optical cavity, the dye concentration, the optical pumping source and rate, and other operating conditions. The original references
should therefore be consulted for this information and its effect on the lasing wavelength.
