In an attempt to develop photostable and efficient BODIPY (PM) dyes for use in liquid dye lasers, three new congeners of widely used laser dye, PM567, were synthesized and their photophysical properties in various organic solvents, laser performances, and

Two novel BODIPY (pyrromethene, PM) dyes containing N-ethyl carbazole at the meso position are synthesized and their photophysical properties in different solvents and the photochemical stabilities and laser performances in n-heptane are investigated. The n-heptane solution of the dyes was used as a gain medium in a constructed narrow band dye laser, pumped by a Q-switched (10 Hz) frequency-doubled (532 nm) Nd:YAG laser and the results gave enhanced photo stabilities and similar peak efficiencies of the synthesized dyes as compared to parent dye PM567. When substituted at the meso position with N-alkyl carbazole, photostability is found to be increased in comparison to PM567, and also when substituted at 2- and 6-positions with a benzyl group instead of an ethyl group along with N-ethyl carbazole at the meso position, the photo stability is further increased in n-heptane. A comprehensive study on structural, photophysical and electronic properties of dyes by means of DFT and TD-DFT in the solvents of various polarities has revealed remarkable characteristics of the BODIPY chromophore.
