Selective mode excitation in dye-doped DNA polyvinyl alcohol thin film

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A solid-state laser based on a dye-doped deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) matrix is described. A thin solid film of DNA has been fabricated by treating with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and used as a host for the laser dye Rhodamine 6G. The edge emitted spectrum clearly indicated the existence of laser modes and amplified spontaneous emission. Lasing was obtained by pumping with a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser at 532nm. For a pump energy of 10mJ/pulse, an intense line with FWHM 0.2nm was observed at 566nm due to selective mode excitation.
