Single- and Two-photon Pumped Defect-Mode Lasing in Dye-doped One-Dimensional Photonic Crystal

ORAL

Abstract

We have developed a novel dye-doped organic/inorganic hybrid one-dimensional photonic crystal system for single-and two-photon pumped defect- mode lasing. The multilayer laser structure consists of alternating layers of titania nanoparticles and polymethylmethacrylate with an active emission layer of organic dyes. Single-mode lasing actions under one- and two- photon excitation have been observed at a defect-mode wavelength. Effective gain enhancement and low threshold one-and two photon pumped lasing of the photonic bandgap structure will be discussed.
