“…In addition, this technique is the most convenient for comparing the performance of different materials, since it allows separating the variations due to the material from those due to the resonant cavity. The laser properties of films of a wide variety of molecular semiconducting materials have been reported in the literature [6,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. In most cases, laser activity is observed at thresholds much lower than those of traditional dyes [23] and comparable to those of typical semiconducting polymeric laser materials [4,6].…”

Blue surface-emitting distributed feedback lasers based on TPD-doped films

Single-mode second-order distributed feedback (DFB) lasers with low threshold, based on polystyrene films doped with 30 wt: % of the hole-transporting organic molecule N,N 0 -bis (3-methylphenyl)-N,N 0 -diphenylbenzidine (TPD) are reported. The laser emission wavelength was tuned between 415 and 427 nm by film thickness variation. The effectiveness of the DFB grating in improving the laser performance is evidenced by the observation of linewidths and laser thresholds lower than those of the amplified spontaneous emission characteristics shown by films without gratings. The use of holographic lithography as the technique for grating recording has allowed us to prepare large samples in a fast, versatile, and simple manner.

“…For some particular molecular systems, ASE was observed even in neat films (nondiluted in an inert matrix). Examples of such materials are various thiophene-S,S-dioxide oligomers [16], spiro-type molecules [17], and the hole-transporting N,N 0 -bis (3-methylphenyl)-N,N 0 -diphenylbenzidine system (TPD) [12,[24][25][26][27] (Fig. 1).…”

“…The wide use of organic dyes and dye doped polymers in optical and optoelectronic applications has produced a renewed interest in the area of laser dyes [1][2][3][4][5]. The broad spectral range covering the blue to the IR region, the high efficiency, the large spectral bandwidth, and fairly simple implementation offer unique operational flexibility for dye lasers.…”

Study of solvent effect in laser emission from Coumarin 540 dye solution

et al. 2007

The results of a brief investigation of the amplified spontaneous emission and lasing characteristics of Coumarin 540 dye in as many as ten different solvents are reported. It has been found that C 540 dye solutions contained within a rectangular quartz cuvette give laser emission with well resolved equally spaced modes when pumped with a 476 nm beam. The modes were found to originate from the subcavities formed by the plane-parallel walls of the cuvette containing the high-gain medium. While the quantum yield remains a decisive factor, a clear correlation between the total width of the emission spectra and the refractive indices of the solvents of the respective samples has been demonstrated. The well-resolved mode structure exhibited by the emission spectra gives clear evidence of the lasing action taking place in the gain medium, and the number of modes enables us to compare the gain of the media in different samples. A detailed discussion of the solvent effect in the lasing characteristics of C540 in different solutions is given.

The photosensitivity of dye mixture-doped polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) films are investigated as a function of laser power, concentration of the dyes, modulation frequency and the irradiation wavelength. Energy transfer from a donor molecule to an acceptor molecule affects the emission output of the dye mixture system. Photosensitivity is found to change with changes in donor-acceptor concentrations. PMMA samples doped with the dye mixture are found to be more photosensitive when the dyes are mixed in the same proportion.
