Abstract :
Variation of pH affects the quantum efficiency for photobleaching and the rate of aggregation following photobleaching. The adjustment of pH to minimize photobleaching is useful for rhodamine 6G and pyronon B, but not for disodium fluorescein. Some of the operational problems of dye lasers may be interpreted as aggregation effects.
