Lasing at 602-620 nm from a red algae-derived phycobiliprotein

Lasing in the 602-620 nm (orange-red) spectral region has been observed from R-phycoerythrin (RPE), a phycobiliprotein responsible for the >80% quantum yield of red algae. Photoexcitation of 8 μM RPE solutions in a Fabry-Pérot resonator with frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser pulses (λp = 532 nm) yie...
