    Experimental setup. A potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) crystal served as a frequency doubling crystal; the cavity mirror had high transmission (HT) at 532 nm (HT=90%) and high reflectance (HR) in the range of 560 nm to 700 nm (HR=90%); the output coupler had partial transmission (R=85%) from 400 nm to 700 nm.
    (a) Laser/FL spectrum. (b) Slope efficiency curve and FWHM of the output spectrum. (c) Oscilloscope trace of output laser. (d) Spectra of output laser in 60 μg/mL NR/ethanol solution containing SA in different concentrations. (e) Spectra of output laser in 200 μg/mL NR/ethanol solution containing SA in different concentrations.
    Bathochromic shift of laser wavelength corresponding to different concentrations of doped SA.
    (a) Tandem cuvette detection system of SA. Inset figure: details of tandem cuvette structure containing R6G/ethanol and NR/ethanol with SA. (b) Spectra of output laser in tandem cuvette system with high concentration of SA from 0 ppm to 500 ppm. The laser peak at 565 nm was in the spectrum of R6G/ethanol. (c) Spectra of output laser in tandem cuvette system with low concentration of SA from 1 ppm to 10 ppm. The laser peak at 565 nm was in the spectrum of R6G/ethanol.
