Abstract

Luminescence from dye molecules is observed when a liquid dye solution is subjected to a high electric field. The structure and geometry of the electrodes and the refractive index of the dye solution make the cell a waveguide. The radiation pattern of the electroluminescence and the spectral dispersion of the emission are explained.
