Measurements of partial deriv n/partial deriv T in Solid-State Dye-Laser Gain Media

摘要

Measurements of partial deriv n/partial deriv T for polymeric solid-state dye-laser gain media have been performed. The method employed in these measurements is simple transmission of a laser beam, at minimum deviation, through a gain matrix configured in a prismatic geometry. For rhodamine 6G-doped modified poly(methyl methacrylate) partial deriv n/partial deriv T=-1.4±0.2x10~(-4) K~(-1) which is found to be a representative value for dye-doped polymeric gain media.
