Abstract

An efficient organic vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with spin-coated polymeric mirrors is demonstrated. Being pumped with the wavelength of 532 nm, the laser generates pulses with the wavelength of 670 nm and the pulse energy of 32 µJ. The slope efficiency of 22 % was obtained for the laser.
