Sensitivity gains in chemosensing by lasing action in organic polymers
Article Abstract:
A study reports that attenuated lasing in optically pumped semiconducting organic polymers (SOP) thin films displays a sensitivity to vapors of explosives more than 30 times higher than is observed from spontaneous emission. The results of the study shows that the induced cessation of the lasing action, and associated sensitivity enhancement, is pronounced when films are pumped at intensities near their lasing threshold.
