Integration of plastic waveguide lasers on film and its application

Abstract

Integratable lasers were studied by using plastic waveguide laser made of laser dye doped PMMA. The wavelength coverage was over 400 nm∼1100 nm and the laser waveguides showed durability of more than millions. Optically pumping system with waveguiding technique was also proposed, and laser integration techniques were studied for micro-spectroscopic application.
