Abstract

We observed laser emission in whispering gallery modes using a microring composed of a semiconducting polymer poly[2,5-bis-(2^′-ethylhexyloxy)-p-phenylenevinylene coated on an etched fiber under transient and quasisteady-state pumping conditions. The threshold for laser oscillation was 1 mJ/cm² (0.1 MW/cm²) and 30 μJ/cm² (300 MW/cm²) for nanosecond and femtosecond excitation, respectively. The laser output showed superlinear dependence on the excitation energy above the threshold. The demonstration of lasing under quasisteady-state pumping shows the possibility to develop electrically pumped polymer lasers.
