Organic dye laser

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008310",
  "term": "Organic dye laser",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A laser that uses an organic dye solution as its gain medium, capable of producing tunable laser light over a broad range of wavelengths. The dye molecules are excited by an external pump source, such as another laser or a flashlamp, and then emit photons through stimulated emission. These lasers are often used in spectroscopy due to their tunability, spanning from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared region.",
