ABSTRACT:
An organic laser cavity structure is described, comprising a plurality of organic laser cavity devices, each organic laser cavity device characterized by: i) a first dielectric stack for receiving and transmitting pump beam light and being reflective to laser light over a predetermined range of wavelengths; ii) an organic active region for receiving transmitted pump beam light from the first dielectric stack and for emitting light; iii) a second dielectric stack for reflecting transmitted pump beam light and laser light from the organic active region back into the organic active region, wherein a combination of the first and second dielectric stacks and the organic active region produces the laser light; and a predetermined arrangement of the plurality of organic laser cavity devices, such that a desired laser output is obtained.
