We report on a monolithic polymeric microcavity laser with all dielectric mirrors realized by low-temperature electron-beam evaporation. The vertical heterostructure was realized by 9.5 TiOx /SiOx pairs evaporated onto an active conjugated polymer, that was previously spincast onto the bottom distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). The cavity supports single-mode lasing at 509 nm, with a linewidth of 1.8 nm, and a lasing threshold of 84 ?J/cm2. We also report on the emission properties of the polymer we used, investigated by a pump-probe technique. These results show that low-temperature electron-beam evaporation is a powerful and straightforward fabrication technique for molecular-based fully integrable microcavity resonators.

Abstract
We report on a monolithic polymeric microcavity laser with all dielectric mirrors realized by low-temperature electron-beam evaporation. The vertical heterostructure was realized by 9.5 TiOx /SiOx pairs evaporated onto an active conjugated polymer, that was previously spincast onto the bottom distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). The cavity supports single-mode lasing at 509 nm, with a linewidth of 1.8 nm, and a lasing threshold of 84 ?J/cm2. We also report on the emission properties of the polymer we used, investigated by a pump-probe technique. These results show that low-temperature electron-beam evaporation is a powerful and straightforward fabrication technique for molecular-based fully integrable microcavity resonators.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
