Abstract
We investigated the dispersion properties of Rhodamine laser dyes using the Kretschmann geometry. Our study revealed multi-branch "staircase" dispersion curves and the emergence of a new dispersion "fork" branch. These findings provide a deeper understanding of the complex dispersion behaviors in laser dyes, theoretically enhancing the design and performance of optical devices. Our results contribute to the field by highlighting critical interactions and phenomena that can influence the development of advanced photonic applications. Further research may explore the practical implications of these discoveries in various technological contexts.
