Solid-state organic amplifiers and lasers are attractive for hybrid integration due to their compatibility with different material platforms, straightforward processing, and possibility to optimize easily their optical and electronic properties by molecular engineering. Advances in the gain medium design and synthesis in combination with new resonator architectures led to tremendous improvements in temporal and spectral properties, lifetime stability, gains produced and operating threshold powers, which triggered interest in their use for a broad range of integrated photonic applications. In this contribution, the current state-of-the-art in the field of organic solid-state amplifiers and lasers is reviewed from the aspects of fabrication technology, gain materials, and device performance. Furthermore, examples of the progress of this technology from a laboratory curiosity to one that demonstrates practical integrated photonic applications are highlighted. An outlook is also provided on research areas and applications that are likely to shape further developments of this technology. (Figure reprinted from [296],

'The fabrication and characterization of a Rhodamine 6G-doped polymer optical fiber amplifier have befII carried out. Two different schemes were employed to characterize the optical fiber: the stripe illuminatioII technique to study the fiber as a gain medium and another technique to study its performance as III amplifier. We observed a spectral narrowing from 42 to 7 nm when the pump energy was increased ID 6 mJ in the stripe illumination geometry. A gain of 18 dB was obtained in the amplifier configuration. The effects of pump power and dye concentration on the performance of the fiber as an amplifier were alIu studied.

“…Muto et al [18) investigated a dye doped step index polymer flber laser and Gvishi et al [19) reported lasing action in Rhodamine 6G (Rh 6G) doped solgel glass fiber. Also, Kuriki et al [20,21) reported lasing action of graded index POFs containing dyes such as Rhodamine B (Rh B), Rh 6G, and Perylene Orange. Also, photopumped narrow line laser emission is demonstrated using freestanding polymer films [22J, and cylindrical microcavities are formed by conjugated polymer thin films, dye doped polymers, and dendrimer doped polymers [23][24][25].…”

Multimode laser emission is observed in a polymer optical fiber doped with a mixtnre of Rhodamine 60 (Rh 60) and Uhodamine B (Rh B) dyes. Tuning oflaser emission is achieved by using the mixture of dyes due to the energy transfer occurring from donor molecule (Rh 6G) to acceptor molecule (Rh B). The dye doped poly(methyl methacrylate}based polymer optical flber is pumped axially at one end of the fiber using a 532 nrn pulsed laser beam from a Nd:YAG laser and the fluorescence emission is collected from the other end. At low pump energy levels, fluorescence emission is observed. When the energy is increased beyond a threshold value, laser emission occurs with a multimode structnre. The optical feedback for the gain medium is provided by the cylindrical surface of the optical tiber, which acts as a cavity. This fact is confirmed by the mode spacing dependence on the diameter oC the tiller.
