Abstract
We have achieved to observe vertical cavity surface emitting lasing (VCSEL) from an optically pumped organic single crystal. A vapor-grown thiophene/phenylene co-oligomer (TPCO) single crystal with in-plane polarization component was used as the gain medium in an optical microcavity. Since the top and bottom surfaces of the TPCO crystal serve as high-quality resonators, well-defined Fabry-Pérot resonance is achieved. Furthermore, by using high reflectivity distributed Bragg reflector as the cavity resonator, we have observed lasing emissions with a line width of 0.9 nm and a threshold of ∼3 mJ/cm2. The VCSEL-type optical feedback configuration demonstrated in this study is expected to be one of the available means to realize the electrically pumped organic laser device.
