| Oct 19, 2016 at 6:39 | comment | added | Mołot | @Aron By "dye", you mean solution by Zxyrra? May be, can't tell. Both lack any evolutionary pressure, as far as I know, so both would need to be bio-engineered. And when it comes to such things, it's human fantasy and whim, not probability ;) | |
| Oct 19, 2016 at 5:41 | comment | added | Aron | Me thinks a dye laser makes much more sense. However. I do not think it would be a solvable problem to "grow" an optical resonant cavity... | |
