In order to enhance the efficiency of a blue-green laser through spectrum conversion of the pumping light, a convertor dye, BBQ, was mixed in the laser dye solutions. The laser was pumped with a plasma radiation source. The maximum increase of laser output at the dye mixture of LD490+BBQ or coumarin 503+BBQ was about 80%. The enhancement is mainly due to the abundance of near uv in the pumping source, the fairly good match of the fluorescence band of convertor dye with the absorption band of the laser dye, and a small overlap of fluorescence band of laser dyes with triplet-triplet absorption band of convertor dye.
