ABSTRACT


We synthesized two solid dye mixtures with Coumarin-545 and Rhodamine-6G without a drying step, but it showed the comparable spectral and material properties with other reported solid dyes, despite a simplified synthesizing process. Coumarin-545 was selected as donor dye, because its fluorescence spectrum was well coincided to the absorption spectrum of Rhodamine-6G, for efficient energy transfer mechanism. We investigated the spectral characteristics with two molarities of 0.1 mM and 0.3 mM of Coumarin-545, at fixed molarity of 0.1 mM of Rhodamine-6G. The fluorescence peak and spectral width of the first one, 0.1 mM molarity for both dyes, appeared at 556 nm and 63 nm, which were 4 nm shorter and 16 nm wider than those of Rhodamine-6G only, respectively. On the other hand, the second one, 0.3 mM molarity for donor, showed 555 nm and 61 nm in their fluorescence peak and spectral width, respectively, which were also 5 nm shorter and 14 nm broader than those of Rhodamine-6G only. The second solid dye mixture showed a little shorter fluorescence peak and a narrower spectral width, compared to the first one. Maximum temperature at the spot where the sample is irradiated by a pumping laser source is investigated. The first one showed the maximum temperature raised from 30°C to 38°C, when a pumping laser power increases from 50 mW to 200 mW. On the other hand, the maximum temperature of the second one raised from 34°C to 53°C, when an output power of the source increases from 50 mW to 200 mW, due to larger absorption of pumping power than the first one.
