摘要
Two -dimensional photonic crystal lasers based on the small molecule organic semiconductor tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq(3)) doped with 4-Dicyanomethylene-2-methyl-6-(p-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran (DCM) are optically pumped with a conventional low-cost pulsed (In)GaN laser diode. We compare photonic crystal resonators providing first- and second-order distributed feedback and find threshold values of 1.9 and 3.2 kW/cm(2), respectively. Such inorganic-organic hybrid laser systems open up a way to inexpensive, tunable, and all solid-state lasers in the full visible wavelength range.
