ABSTRACT:
A system for laser light delivery from an organic fiber laser, including a multi-layered vertical cavity film structure, wherein the multi-layered vertical cavity film structure is excited by an energy source; and an optical fiber integrated with the multi-layered vertical cavity film structure, such that the multi-layered vertical cavity film structure is deposited on the optical fiber; and wherein the delivery of laser light occurs at an end of the optical fiber as emitted laser
