Abstract
Considerations for long-pulse operation of solid state dye lasers are discussed. The goal is to develop an all solid state dye laser which can be pumped directly with laser diodes. Experimental attempts to achieve long pulse operation will be described for rhodamine 700 dye in two different solid state hosts. Criteria for solid state dye host materials will also be presented.
