Abstract

The lasing characteristics of 17 aminocoumarins in solutions and polymer polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) matrix pumped by exciplex XeCl-laser radiation (λpump=308 nm) are investigated. It is demonstrated that 4-CF3 and 3-substituted coumarins are promising for the preparation of solid-state active media for tunable blue–green lasers.
