Abstract

The fluorescence and lasing characteristics of 25 oxazole dyes have been investigated. Lasing was attempted using flashlamp pumping with and without the presence of oxygen. A few of the dyes showed the highest laser lifetimes covering the wavelength region of 495–523 nm that we have ever tested. Other dyes showed high laser outputs. Many of the dyes had useful flashlamp-pumped laser characteristics using water as the solvent. Although the best lasing conditions were observed in the absence of oxygen, good lifetimes could be obtained under air for solvents such as ethanol/water.
