Here is a pic under UV blacklight. I promise you that under dpss type lasers it is tremendously bright and different colors. the yellow is the green dye and red is the you know
different solvents and even different Ph will alter the mean fluorescing spectrum. the concentration must not be to high or the beam will not penetrate the medium. I have thought about using this as a type of power meter. the deeper the light penetrates the more power the laser is outputting. of course you would use a log scale.

I am willing to trade dye for a violet laser module!

Re: Fluorescent glow dye for green and violet lase

Hey I'm really interested in that red dye! How bright does it glow under UV light? (blacklight)
If it's as bright as in the picture, it's not good enough.

Re: Fluorescent glow dye for green and violet lase

what do you mean not bright enough? rhodamine has the highest efficiency of any fluorescent dye. a blacklight is not a bright source of light. like other things in life you only get what you put in. besides you got any better ideas?

Re: Fluorescent glow dye for green and violet lase

Could you offer them for a price, like here in the forum?

And do you really only have 2oz. left?

What does nontoxic mean? Can I put that into a drink or better not?

Hey Glowdye,

those seem really good dyes. Do you have any more colours available + chemical names please.

Do you have similar ranges and prices to this website: http://www.scuddlebutt3.co.uk/Dyes.htm

I use that company for bits of lab kit for 'experiments', and I use it for buying ferrofluid. Now THAT is crazy stuff, it shows magnetic fields in 3D (think of a liquid hedgehog you can poke!) I have tons and tons of pics of it in action. If anyone is interested, PM me!
Anyway, back on track:

Dyes! - They also sell loads of different dyes, which have interested me but never had a use for, so I never orderd.  :-[

BUT, I want to buy some now to play with my lasers. Can you beat their prices? They charge £3.25  per 10g which means $0.65 per g. (That's without postage and bulk discount)

+ they offer loads more colours (which I'm sure you can match)
But one that stands out in particular is the Optical Brightener

I'm thinking for the whole 405nm blu-ray route etc. etc.

Optical Brightener Fluorescent Dye
Optical brightener is not strictly a dye, since it is not coloured of itself. Instead it has a strong blue fluorescence which enables it to make fabrics look whiter (the blue whitener effect), and also causes the well known blue fluorescent effect seen on clothing under ultraviolet illumination such as disco dark light. Optical brightener is applied to textiles by soaking. The product is suitable for use on cotton and synthetics.

Scuddlebutt Optical Brightener is a stilbene / triazine type brightening agent. Fluorescent brighteners of this type make excellent laser dyes and although Scuddlebutt Optical Brightener is a commercial grade and not specifically offered for laser work, users have reported it to be a workable laser medium.

http://www.scuddlebutt3.co.uk/OpticalBrightener.htm

Optical brighteners, optical brightening agents, fluorescent brightening agents or fluorescent whitening agents (FWAs) are dyes that absorb light in the ultraviolet and violet region of the electromagnetic spectrum, and re-emit light in the blue region

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_brightener


I'm sure washing-up power may work (of a decent brand) but this won't foam and is more concentrated.    ;D


If you can't get hold of this stuff, and if people are interested; I'll contact them for a bulk prices and perhaps do a group buy? (I'm not trying to hyjack this - just to keep people informed of other varieties, and for speed for us UK folkes!   )

Re: Fluorescent glow dye for green and violet lase

I found this on their site:

http://www.scuddlebutt3.co.uk/FAQ.htm

Can I order a sample of a particular item?
If you would like to order samples of any of our products, we do charge a very small fee depending on the item. However, if you would like to place an order for that particular item after receiving the sample, we will discount the sample fee from the actual item price, so basically you do get the sample for free. Just think of it as a deposit.

I might get 1 of each to try! (My blu-ray is still in bits - I'll have to get a move on!). Also if you look on the FAQ page on their catalog, you can buy bigger 100g packs for £25.00, so that's $0.50 per g! With a bigger order, who knows!

That's quite a profit margin if you sell it for $1 per gram 1 pound = 453.59237 grams
I'll give $12 for a pound of the juice
