1.3.3 Silica and Silica-Gel Dye Lasers
The properties of dye doped silica and sol-gel silica lasers are summarized in Table 1.3.2. 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.
