Abstract
We study laser performance with two laser dyes, Pyrromethene 567 and Rhodamine 610, co-doped into modified poly(methyl methacrylate) (MPMMA). We achieve a more than 37 nm wide tunable range. We obtain a narrowband-laser slope efficiency of 27.24%, which is almost as high as a broadband-output slope efficiency of 36.6%. To the best of our knowledge, the narrowband slope efficiency is the highest under the same conditions so far. The narrowband laser linewidth obtained is far less than 0.3 nm. All our results indicate that high laser performance can be achieved using two dyes co-doped into MPMMA.
