Abstract
Due to the increased application of lasers in different fields (industry, medicine, etc.), there is a growing need for new laser sources with good beam quality and variable emission wavelength. At the same time, for environmental reasons, the obtaining of novel eco-friendly active optical materials, such as those based on the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) biopolymer, with optimal light emission properties, is of high interest. The results obtained in this study of the temporal dependence of the transmittance and of the light emission in thin films of DNA-CTMA-Rhodamine 610 (at different Rhodamine concentrations) (DNA-CTMA-Rh610), when they are illuminated with continuous wave laser light at 532 nm (frequently used in the optical pumping of dye lasers), are presented and discussed. The transmittance results obtained for thin film samples are compared to those obtained for the DNA-CTMA-Rh610 solutions in butanol, from which the films have been made, and also with those obtained for Rh610 solutions in butanol with the same concentrations. The investigation was performed in order to assess the influence of the DNA-CTMA and of the green laser light at 532 nm wavelength on relevant chromophore properties such as light transmission and fluorescence emission. The results obtained revealed that the DNA-CTMA matrix has an active influence on the Rhodamine 610 emission, in the whole range of concentrations of the investigated samples.
