Abstract

1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) was tested as a flashlamp-pumped laser lifetime-extender with a variety of coumarin dyes and solvents under both air and argon. In a few cases, DABCO could be considered to have extended the lifetime as much as threefold; however, the selection of the appropriate cover gas and/or solvent could often yield a much greater improvement in the absence of DABCO. In general, DABCO was not found to be very valuable as a lifetime-extender. Furthermore, under some conditions DABCO was found to markedly reduce the laser lifetime and output.
