  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-013052",
  "term": "Dye laser",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of laser that uses an organic dye solution as its gain medium, capable of producing coherent light over a broad range of wavelengths. The dye molecules are excited by an external light source, such as another laser or a flashlamp, and then emit photons through stimulated emission. These lasers are tunable and widely used in spectroscopy and photochemistry.",
