Abstract
Local intensity fluctuations in a large aperture dye laser have been m easured for several solvent viscosities. A decrease on the relative fl uctuations amplitude as the solvent viscosity increases is found. From a theoretical approach, we show that the intensity fluctuations follo w the same behavior as the molecular polarization orientation driven b y the laser field.
