A distributed feedback dye laser based on second order Bragg scatterin
g due to a sinusoidal susceptibility modulation is reported. Rhodamine
6G dye solution in three different solvents; methanol, ethanol and be
nzyl alcohol is pumped by interference fringes produced by two beams f
rom the second harmonic of Nd:YAG laser. Output power is plotted as a
function of the pump power. The spectrum of dye laser shows a new type
of modulation.
