摘要
We report photopumped lasing in a microcavity device with a polythiophene layer as the emitter. These microcavity devices are built by joining two polymer coated dielectric 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(-1), and that the exciton concentration is 2 X 10(17) cm(-3) at the lasing transition, well below the exciton-exciton recombination level.
