dye lasers using 2-(4-Pyridyl)-5-aryloxazoles and quaternary salts of these compounds

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5491701
2-(4-pyridyl)-5-aryloxazoles and certain quaternary salts of these compounds are useful as visible-wavelength lasing dyes. These dyes are used in solution with non-interferring polar solvents, such as low molecular weight alcohols, H/sub 2/O, and D/sub 2/O, to form lasing media useful in dye lasers. Such lasers generally include a reservoir for containing the laser dye solution and a pumping energy source operably coupled therewith for producing stimulated emission of the dye solution.
