摘要
We report photopumped lasing in a microcavity device with a polythiophene layer as emitter. The microcavity is made of a polymer film between two dielectric Bragg reflecting mirrors (DBR). The:microcavity devices is built by joining two polymer coated DBR mirrors at elevated temperature. When photopumping the film,a lasing threshold is observed at 120 nJ/cm(2). Comparative studies with fast pump-probe spectroscopy of thin polythiophene films, and the same polymer in photopumped lasing studies, indicate that the gain coefficient is 80 +/- 20 cm(2) and that the exciton concentration is 2X10(17) cm(2) at the lasing transition, well below the exciton-exciton recombination level.
