Laser dyes are organic chemicals whose systematic names are lengthy and confusing. Other names—some jargon, some trade—have come into everyday use, but there is no consistency, and sometimes research workers will have dyes from different suppliers that are identical in structure although different in name. This paper tabulates laser dyes by a characteristic identification number.

The untuned laser output wavelength maximum is given, usually in ethanol.
Abbreviations: D = DuPont; K = Eastman Kodak; N = New England Nuclear; W = Naval Weapons Center; C.I. = Colour Index17; X = Exciton Chemical Co.
Where the Chemical Abstracts registry number was not available, the empirical formula is given.
The dye known as Rhodamine 6G is a mixture whose major component is the structure shown, available from Du Pont as Rhodamine 5GDN Extra. The chloride portion of the structure is actually included in the name Rhodamine 6G (or 5GDN Extra), thus the common name Rhodamine 6G Perchlorate is a misnomer.
Rhodamine 101 is actually a chloride as shown. Rhodamine 640 has a perchlorate in place of a chloride. Its registry number is not available; the empirical formula is C32H31ClN2O7.
Pilot 730 is actually the chloride, registry number 2381-85-3, also called C.I. Basic Blue 12.
