Abstract
The dependence of the rate of photodecomposition of the dye rhodamine 6G in polymer active elements on the average pump intensity was studie d, The service life of such active elements pumped transversely with l ow-intensity (less than 1 MW cm(-2)) pump pulses was also investigated . When the average intensity was reduced below a certain value, the dy e photodecomposition rate decreased significantly and the service life of the active elements rose strongly.
