Abstract:
We present a compact solid-state laser based on leaky mode propagation
from a dye-doped polymer free-standing film waveguide. The edge emitted
spectrum clearly indicated the existence of periodic resonant modes. The
reflections from the lateral faces of the free-standing film provided the
optical feedback thus giving rise to a Fabry–Perot like optical cavity. This
together with the guidance through the gain medium gave rise to intense
narrow emission lines. For a pump energy of 1.82 mJ/pulse, an intense line
with FWHM ∼0.4 nmwas observed at 576.5 nm.
