General description

3,3′-Diethyloxadicarbocyanine iodide, also known as DODCI is a laser dye that belongs to the group of cyanine dyes.

Application

3,3′-Diethyloxadicarbocyanine iodide is a suitable dye for mode-locking both pulsed and cw tunable rhodamine 6G lasers. It has been used as a micellar probe as it is positively charged and it stays at the micelle–water interface.
