摘要
Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) in single crystals of para-sexiphenyl grown in the beta phase by vapor transport is demonstrated upon photoexcitation at 355 nm. Excitation with femtosecond laser pulses leads to dual wavelength ASE at 427 and 450 nm, while excitation with nanosecond laser pulses leads to ASE only at 450 nm. The threshold fluences for nanosecond and femtosecond pumpings are determined to be 885 and 110 mu J/cm(2), respectively. Additionally, the singlet exciton annihilation rate is measured to be gamma(ss)=(1.2 +/- 0.1)x10(-6) cm(3) s(-1). (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
