摘要
A new type of organic solid-state laser is promised by research into zeolitic microcrystals. By trapping individual organic dye molecules in the nanometre cavities of the zeolite, researchers have been able to produce microlasers only 8 μm in diameter. Such tiny lasers could be used as bright pixels for displays or in optical sensing and communication.
