ABSTRACT: The spectral-spatial characteristics of the lateral radiation of a circular-shaped Rhodamine 6G solution layer were investigated. The layer is a part of the laser dye solution, which is in optical contact with the bottom of optical cylindrical cell, the shape of which determines the geometric shape of the exciting layer. Homogeneous excitation of this layer by the second harmonic of the Nd+: YAG (λ = 532 nm) laser is realized. Circular, plane-directed radiation, with a small, vertical, divergence was obtained from the edges of the excited layer. Is investigated experimentally the spectral and spatial characteristics of radiation. Excitation of the layer was performed from the side of the cuvette bottom. It turned out that within the concentrations of the dye in the solution from 0.12 to 0.03 wt%, the following processes are observed: 1) Plane-directed radiation, with a small vertical divergence, uniform in intensity, around the optical cell in the plane of the luminescent layer; 2) An increase in the amplitude of radiation pulses with a decrease in the concentration of the dye in the solution; 3) Shifting of the maximum of the emission spectrum to the short-wave region, significant narrowing of the radiation spectrum and decrease of the vertical divergence of radiation.
