Organic Nanofibers: Extending the Lasing Wavelength Coverage of Organic Semiconductor Nanofibers by Periodic Organic-Organic Heteroepitaxy (Advanced Optical Materials 2/2013)

Abstract

Thin films of organic epitaxial nanofibers represent a viable strategy towards the realization of effective organic semiconductor lasers. Outlined on page 117, a novel approach based on organic-organic heteroepitaxy is taken by F. Quochi et al. to endow the nanofibers with a highly functional oligomer heterostructure, enabling random lasing with low thresholds in multiple bands across the visible spectrum. © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
