Solid-state dye laser
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A solid-state dye laser (SSDL) is a solid-state lasers in which the gain medium is a laser dye-doped organic matrix such as poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), rather than a liquid solution of the dye. These lasers are also referred to as solid-state organic lasers and solid-state dye-doped polymer lasers.

SSDLs were introduced in 1967 by Soffer and McFarland.[2]
