Electrically-pumped organic laser device with a coupled microcavity structure

Abstract

Lasing action in electrically pumped organic laser device is demonstrated. A DCM laser dye doped Alq film serves as the active layer. High reflective and low loss electrical contacts are used to form a high quality factor coupled microcavity. Single longitudinal cavity mode is obtained at 618 nm with a threshold current density of 612 mAcm -2 under room temperature continuous wave operation.
