Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2010 Oct 28;12(40):12947-50. doi: 10.1039/c0cp00304b. Epub 2010 Aug 23.

Abstract

Lasing action in a fully organic dye doped flexible 1D random multilayer photonic crystal is reported. The emission energy can be modulated by varying layers thicknesses to fit the dye characteristics, thus showing the potential interest of such cheap materials in active devices for optoelectronic applications.
