Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase a life of a plastic laser element and to improve light emitting efficiency of the laser element by dispersing a phosphor colorant enclosed in cyclodextrine in a polymer matrix. CONSTITUTION:A plastic laser element in which phosphor colorant enclosed in cyclodextrine is dispersed in polymer matrix is provided. Discoloring velocity of the colorant is decelerated by enclosing the colorant with the cyclodextrine. Accordingly, the plastic laser element having less discoloring by a flash lamp can be manufactured. The phosphor yield becomes twice to improve laser light emitting efficiency.

Next, the operation will be explained. The fluorescent dye (2) excited by the 7-lush lamp (4) undergoes an S-'SK transition, emits fluorescence, and then absorbs light 1 again, changing the excited state to 'S'. Think about it. Before this excited molecule emits fluorescence for the second time and is transferred to S, the photon that was emitted earlier as fluorescence is converted into a molecule that is excited again. If this excited molecule were to return to the S state by emitting fluorescence due to the action, the number of photodeuterons would have doubled, including those that were spontaneously emitted earlier, to 2.

[Function J] Since the fluorescent dye in this invention is encapsulated by cyclodextrin, it is easily dispersed in the polymer matrix even without a dispersant. In addition, the -multiplet state rapidly and abruptly transitions to the ground state due to an increase in fluorescence yield, and the probability of transition to the triplet state decreases, reducing photodecomposition of the dye. Furthermore, the laser emission efficiency is improved due to the increase in fluorescence yield.
