SOLID STATE DYE LASER

摘要

A solid state dye laser (5) is adapted for use in a solid state dye laser assembly having a pump (2) adapted to emit light at a first frequency and intensity. The solid state dye laser (5) includes an elongated web of polymeric host material having a gain medium disposed therein, the gain medi um being in a substantially solid state and doped with a fluorescent dye adapte d to emit light within a predetermined spectral tuning range. The gain medium includes polymeric cholesteric liquid crystal disposed in a planar texture a nd frozen into a characteristic wavelength. The solid state dye laser (5) including the gain medium is adapted for convenient movement relative to the pump (2).
