[Fluorescence enhancement and laser behavior of Rhodamine 6G in micell].
Fluorescence of Rhodamine 6G in aqueous solution is effectively enhanced by using anionic sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) surfactant. When the concentration of Rhodamine 6G is 5.47 x 10(-7) mol.L-1 and 5.47 x 10(-4) mol.L-1, maximal enhancement ratio can be 1.95 and 9.7, respectively. In the latter case, using SDS can reduce the threshold and improve the energy conversion efficiency of the dye laser of Rhodamine 6G. In the absence of SDS, the laser threshold power density is near 65 MW.cm-2. While in the present of SDS, the threshold is reduced to 0.8 MW.cm-2. The laser energy conversion efficiency can reach 25% when the pumping power density is 65 MW.cm-2. We also observed the red shifts of absorption spectrum, fluorescence spectrum and the dye laser spectrum in the present of SDS. The physical mechanism of the phenomena is discussed.
