Abstract
The transmission properties of the laser dyes BBQ, PBD, BPBD, α-NPO,p-Quarterphenyl and PPO have been measured using a XeCl (308 nm) excimer laser. A model for the dye saturation which incorporates excited-state absorption was used to estimate the lifetime and the absorption cross section of the first excited singlet-state for each dye.
