Frequency up-converted lasing in polymeric composites with two-photon absorbing antenna

Opt Express. 2012 Apr 9;20(8):9135-43. doi: 10.1364/OE.20.009135.

Abstract

Energy-transfer-coupled polymeric composites with donors of two-absorbing dyes and acceptors of polymer gain medium are introduced for up-converted laser applications. The two-photon pumped hybrid polymer lasers show significant performance improvement with nearly 10 times reduction of lasing threshold and over 100 times extension of lifespan.
