Laser dye refers to organic compounds that are used as laser gain media. These dyes can be dissolved in a solvent and are commonly utilized in dye lasers, which are a type of laser that produces laser light over a wide range of wavelengths. The specific wavelengths depend on the chemical structure of the dye. There are several key points about laser dyes: 1. **Organic Composition**: Laser dyes are typically organic molecules. Common examples include rhodamines, fluoresceins, and phthalocyanines.
