摘要
Highly luminescent organic solid state media including molecular dye doped guest-host systems and novel conjugated polymers currently attract a lot of interest for application in photonic technology. We demonstrate organic solid-state lasers with broadly and continuously tuneable mode emission (Delta lambda = 40nm, FWHM < 1nm). Feed-back onto polymeric DFB-structures results from dynamic and permanent photoinduced in-plane gratings. A "write and read " - technique for easy and low cost fabrication of single and multiple grating devices is presented. The combination and optimization of tuneable gratings with specific confinement features as from different waveguiding formats open-up new approaches in integrated optics.
