Conductive polymer dye laser and diode and method of use
A dye laser is described, comprising: a laser dye solution disposed in a resonant cavity comprising a conductive polymer having the chemical formula: wherein R comprises (C[sub 1]-C[sub 10])alkyl, R[prime] is the same or different from R and comprises alkyl, substituted alkyl, benzyl, or substituted benzyl, the substituted compounds selected from the group consisting of -(CH[sub 2])[sub n]CH[sub 3] and -CH[sub 2]C[sub 6]H[sub 4](CH[sub 2])[sub n]Y, wherein Y is 0-alkyl, alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl and n is greater than 1 and up to 200, and for structure IV, R[double prime] is the same or different from R and comprises (C[sub 1]-C[sub 10])alkyl, and x is greater than about 20 and up to about 200; and a non-aqueous solvent; the solvent being substantially unable to chemically react with the polymer and to absorb and emit light at a wavelength similar to the conductive polymer and a pumping energy source producing stimulated emmission in the dye solution.
