Heterocyclic compounds as the active media of lasers (review)

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The principle of the action of lasers based on crystals and methods for the production of an inverse population are examined. The properties of various classes of heterocyclic compounds used as the active media in lasers based on crystals are discussed. The effect of the triplet states of a dye on generation is examined. The relationship between the generation properties and the structure of the dye molecule and the effect of a solvent on the generation of dyes are discussed.
