Properties of Stimulated Emission of the РМ567 Dye in Pores of Anodized Aluminum Oxide

详细

Properties of the stimulated emission of the РМ567 dye in porous aluminum oxide are investigated. It is established that when РМ567 molecules are doped into aluminum oxide pores, a small part of dye molecules forms aggregates. The quantum yield of fluorescence of РМ567 in Al₂O₃ is Ф_f = 0.85. The stimulated emission of РМ567 in the Al₂O₃ film is observed in the short-wavelength maximum of the fluorescence band. The threshold of the stimulated emission is 2 MW/cm². The kinetics of the decay of stimulated emission is measured. It is demonstrated that low-Q lasing of the stimulated emission of РМ567 in the film with Q ≥ 1·10² is caused by the fact that the geometry of rays in pores does not correspond to that of complete internal reflection, and hence, the radiative losses increase. The efficiency of lasing of РМ567 in Al₂O₃ is 0.3%.
