Laser that uses a carbon-based material as the gain medium
Liquid organic dye laser system excited by a copper vapor laser
An organic laser is a laser which uses an organic (carbon based) material as the gain medium. The first organic laser was the liquid dye laser.[1][2] These lasers use laser dye solutions as their gain media.
Organic lasers are inherently tunable and when configured as optimized multiple-prism grating laser oscillators can yield efficient single-transverse mode, and single-longitudinal-mode, emission with laser linewidths as narrow as 350 MHz (approximately 0.0004 nm at a wavelength of 590 nm), in the high-power pulsed regime.[3]
