Abstract
Recent progress in the synthesis of new IR dyes of superior photochemical stability has led to dye lasers in the infrared. The small fluorescence quantum yield of the dyes (η ~ 10~3–10−4) certainly makes the generation of cw laser emission extremely difficult; pumping the dyes with picosecond pulses, however, makes efficient generation of tunable picosecond pulses possible.1
