Abstract

An ultrathin nonlinear optical (NLO) organic surface composed of numerous self-assembled frustum-shaped whispering-gallery-mode resonators displays both two-photon luminescence and second-harmonic-generation signals. A super-second-order increase of the NLO intensity with respect to pump power confirms the microlasing action and practical usefulness of the NLO organic surfaces.
