An Emulsion Dye Laser, Kenneth Lee Matheson, James M. Thorne Nov 1978

An Emulsion Dye Laser, Kenneth Lee Matheson, James M. Thorne

Faculty Publications

A laser dye which is insoluble in water has been dissolved in hexane and emulsified in a water matrix. When pumped with a nitrogen laser, this mixture was observed to lase. The emulsion is superior to a simple hexane solution because the excellent thermo-optical properties of the water matrix help prevent refractive-index gradients from degrading laser performance. This is a useful characteristic for flash-pumped dye lasers, laser-pumped dye lasers, and liquid filters. Another type of solvent system, a critical solution, is also discussed. For certain dyes, a critical solution has even better thermo-optical properties because of its ability to absorb …

Mammals Of The Smithsonian Venezuelan Project, Charles O. Handley Jr.

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

Mammals and their ectoparasites were collected in all parts of Venezuela between 1965 and 1968 by the Smithsonian Venezuelan Project. Ecological and geographical data are summarized here for 38,213 specimens of 270 species of mammals obtained by the project.
