Random laser action in bovine semen

Experiments using bovine semen reveal that the addition of a high-gain water soluble dye results in random laser action when excited by a Q-switched, frequency doubled, Nd:Yag laser. The data shows that the linewidth collapse of the emission is correlated to the sperm count of the individual samples...

description Experiments using bovine semen reveal that the addition of a high-gain water soluble dye results in random laser action when excited by a Q-switched, frequency doubled, Nd:Yag laser. The data shows that the linewidth collapse of the emission is correlated to the sperm count of the individual samples, potentially making this a rapid, low sample volume approach to count determination. ► Bovine semen and laser dyes as random laser media. ► Sperm acts as a scattering medium to create long paths and closed paths. ► Excitation by 532nm Q-switched laser results in narrowing of the emission. ► Line-width is narrower with higher sperm count. ► Provides a simple ultra-fast sperm count measurement method.
