Triplet extinction coefficients of some laser dyes. II. Interim technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5759969

The authors measured the triplet extinction coefficients T over the laser action spectral region of DODC, DMC, Sulforhodamine B, Rhodamine 575, Coumarin 523, Coumarine 521 Coumarin 504, Coumarin 498, Coumarin 490, LD466, bis-MSB, BBO, and OLIG0415. The different lines from an argon- and a krypton-ion cw laser were employed for excitation. McClure's method was again employed to measure the triplet extinction coefficients. The authors provide a simplified derivation of McClure's equation. The triplet extinction coefficient of Rhodamine 575 was also measured by using the depletion method and improving it by reconstructing for true triplet-triplet absorption. The value obtained is in good agreement with the one obtained by McClure's method.
