Stimulated emission from 19 polymethine dyes dissolved in organic solvents and pumped by a Q-switched ruby laser is reported. In this experiment, 5MW output power and 20% conversion efficiency have been obtained. The wavelength of laser emission varies with the concentration of dye solution within several tens of mμ. Varying the concentration of these polymethine dyes, high power laser emission (>1MW) has been obtained practically throughout the entire wavelength range from 710mμ to 1060mμ.
