“…All spectra were acquired on a Varian UNITYINOVA spectrometer operating at a frequency of 499.8 MHz and using a standard 5 mm two-channel probe. A 90 flip angle of 19.75 ms and an acquisition time of 1.9 s were used. The number of co-added scans was 192, with a delay of 19.6 s implemented between transients.…”

“…These dyes are typically π‐conjugated molecules with high quantum fluorescent yields, with some of the most common representative examples being the xanthenes (rhodamine [see Fig. ] and fluorescein dyes), pyrromethenes, coumarins, and, more recently, organic photovoltaic (OPV) chromophores and semiconducting polymers, with optimal ranges for lasing from the blue to the near infrared …”

Reflecting recent progress in the functionalization of roll-to-roll processed polymer multilayers, this review describes the development and characterization of versatile large-area multilayer distributed feedback (DFB) lasers. These developments are reviewed in the broader context of microresonator lasers, with a brief tutorial on the theory and experiment needed to understand their unique features. Of particular interest is the broad tunability of these DFB lasers by simple modification of their structure, mechanical stretching, and temperature. Prospects for commercialization of polymer multilayer DFB lasers are also discussed.

Polymers are receiving considerable attention as components in novel optical systems because of the tailored functionality, ease of manufacturing, and relatively low cost. The processing of layered polymeric systems by coextrusion is a method to produce films comprising hundreds to thousands of alternating layers in a single, one-step roll-to-roll process. Several layered polymer optical systems have been fabricated by coextrusion, including gradient refractive index lenses, tunable refractive index elastomers, photonic crystals, and mechanically tunable photonic crystals. Layered polymeric optical systems made by coextrusion can also incorporate active components such as photoreactive additives for multilayered patterning and laser dyes for all-polymer laser systems. Coextrusion is a process which allows for the flexible design of polymeric optical systems using layers with thickness spanning the nanoscale to the microscale.
