Abstract
Laser action in a DNA host is presented here for thin films composed of rho damine 6G dye intercalated in salmon DNA (shown schematically in the Figure ). Recent reports of the semiconducting properties of DNA inspired these au thors to investigate its effects in solid-state dye lasing. Amplified spont aneous emission with spectral line narrowing was observed under nanosecond optical Dumping.
