Multilayered solid-state organic laser for simultaneous multiwavelength oscillations Available to Purchase

This paper describes an organic dye-doped polymeric laser with a multilayered structure of active waveguides. Using the technique of photonanoimprint lithography, organic active-waveguide layers with distributed-feedback cavities and a polymeric intermediate cladding layer were stacked on a silica substrate. Under optical pumping, lasing oscillations at 427 and 636 nm, which correspond to the Bragg reflection wavelengths in the respective active waveguides, were simultaneously observed. The fabrication scheme presented here is expected to be a promising technology for the development of compact multicolor laser sources.
