Abstract
Partial suppression of lasing by intense stimulated Raman scattering o f ethanol in a 10(-4) M Rhodamine 6G-doped ethanol droplet can be obse rved at high input-laser intensity when the Raman signal overlaps with the lasing spectrum. Extra stimulated emission of the Rhodamine 6G ca used by stimulated Raman scattering of ethanol can saturate the Rhodam ine 6G lasing gain to below threshold.
