摘要
We report a detailed investigation of optical gain narrowing processes in thin films of a conjugated ladder-type poly(p-phenylene) polymer. The intensity-dependent optical emission spectra of samples of varying thickness are compared. For thin high-quality spin-coated samples spectral narrowing of the emission is observed for pump pulse energies as low as 10 nJ. Picosecond time-resolved measurements show that the spectral narrowing is accompanied by an accelerated emission for high pump energies. Our experimental findings are in full agreement with the assumption that amplified spontaneous emission in a lateral direction is the underlying physical mechanism.
