Abstract:
Thermal lens signals in solutions of rhodamine B laser dye in methanol are
measured using the dual beam pump-probe technique. The nature of variations of signal
strength with concentration is found to be different for 514 and 488 nm Ar + laser excitations.
However, both the pump wavelengths produce an oscillatory type variation of thermal lens
signal amplitude with the concentration of the dye solution. Probable reasons for this peculiar
behaviour (which is absent in the case of fluorescent intensity) are mentioned.
