Flashlamp Excitation of Organic Dye Lasers: A Short Communication

Pumping with a specially constructed flashlamp rather than a giant pulse laser, we have just observed stimulated emission from three of the five dyes considered in the addendum to Ref. 1. In the table below we give some observations and results for the dyes in which lasing was thus achieved: Acridine Red, Rhodamine 6G, and Fluorescein
