Cooperative torus mode emission of O-ring lasers

Deformable ring lasers were fabricated by dispersing fluorescent dye (rhodamine 6G) in silicone rubber rings, i.e., the so-called O-rings. When excited with a pulsed green laser, an O-ring of 750 µm diameter exhibited a stimulated emission with a threshold fluence of 20 µJ/mm2. The wavelength and di...
