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.

Zirconia titania organically modified silicate (ZrO 2 -TiO 2 -ORMOSIL) thin film waveguides of thickness from 0.4 to 7.0 µm were synthesized using low temperature sol-gel method. Narrow linewidth distributed feedback (DFB) lasing was demonstrated in rhodamine 6G-doped ZrO 2 -TiO 2 -ORMOSIL waveguides. Simultaneous tuning of multiple-output wavelengths was achieved in the dye-doped waveguides by varying the period of the gain modulation generated by a nanosecond Nd:YAG laser at 532 nm. As many as eight separate output wavelengths were observed for a planar ZrO 2 -TiO 2 -ORMOSIL waveguide of thickness 7.0-µm. The output polarizations of the DFB waveguide lasers can be tuned by varying the polarization of the crossing pump beams. TE and TM optical waves belonging to the same propagation mode were generated by crossing two polarized pump beams, resulting in an effective double of the number of output wavelengths. Continuous tuning of the polarized laser outputs was also achieved by varying the crossing angle.

“…The combination of the tunability and high efficiency of laser dyes with the high power density that can be easily achieved in waveguide structures makes devices based on dye-doped polymer waveguides and fibres very promising [7][8][9][10][11]. Wide range tunable laser emission has been reported from polymer thin films in optically pumped distributed feedback schemes [7,12]. Laser emission from conjugated polymers and dendrimer doped polymers has also been reported during the past few years [13][14][15][16][17].…”

We present a compact solid-state laser based on leaky mode propagation from a dye-doped polymer free-standing film waveguide. The edge emitted spectrum clearly indicated the existence of periodic resonant modes. The reflections from the lateral faces of the free-standing film provided the optical feedback thus giving rise to a Fabry-Perot like optical cavity. This together with the guidance through the gain medium gave rise to intense narrow emission lines. For a pump energy of 1.82 mJ/pulse, an intense line with FWHM ∼0.4 nm was observed at 576.5 nm.
