Rhodamine 6G is a highly fluorescent rhodamine family dye. It is often used as a tracer dye within water to determine the rate and direction of flow and transport. Rhodamine dyes fluoresce and can thu
Rhodamine 6G chloride powder mixed with methanol, emitting yellow light under green laser illumination
Rhodamine 6G-based dye laser. The dye solution is the orange fluid in the tubes.
A dye laser is a laser that uses an organic dye as the lasing medium, usually as a liquid solution. Compared to gases and most solid state lasing media, a dye can usually be used for a much wider rang

…ethoxyethanol (25 g/L), methoxyethanol (50 g/L), dipropylene glycol (30 g/L), PEG (20 g/L). Rhodamine 6G is also used as a laser dye, or gain medium, in dye lasers, and is pumped by the second (532 nm) harmonic from an Nd:YAG laser, nitrogen laser, or argon ion laser. The dye has a remarkably high photostability…
The internal cavity of a linear dye-laser, showing the beam path. The pump laser (green) enters the dye cell from the left. The emitted beam exits to the right (lower yellow beam) through a cavity dumper (not shown). A diffraction grating is used as the high-reflector (upper yellow beam, left side). The two meter beam is redirected several times by mirrors and prisms, which reduce the overall length, expand or focus the beam for various parts of the cavity, and eliminate one of two counter-propagating waves produced by the dye cell. The laser is capable of continuous wave operation or ultrashort picosecond pulses (trillionth of a second, equating to a beam less than
A ring dye laser. P-pump laser beam; G-gain dye jet; A-saturable absorber dye jet; M0, M1, M2-planar mirrors; OC–output coupler; CM1 to CM4-curved mirrors.
A cuvette used in a dye laser. A thin sheet of liquid is passed between the windows at high speeds. The windows are set at Brewster's angle (air-to-glass interface) for the pump laser, and at Brewster's angle (liquid-to-glass interface) for the emitted beam.
