TY - JOUR A1 - Stroisch, Marc A1 - Woggon, Thomas A1 - Lemmer, Uli A1 - Bastian, Georg A1 - Violakis, Georg A1 - Pissadakis, Stavros T1 - Organic semiconductor distributed feedback laser fabricated by direct laser interference ablation T2 - Optical Express N2 - We use a pulsed, frequency tripled picosecond Nd:YAG laser for holographic ablation to pattern a surface relief grating into an organic semiconductor guest-host system. The resulting second order distributed feedback lasers exhibit laser action with laser thresholds being comparable to those obtained with resonators structured by standard lithographic techniques. The details of the interference ablation of tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq(3)) doped with the laser dye 4- dicyanomethylene-2-methyl-6-(p-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran (DCM) are presented and discussed. Lasing action is demonstrated at a wavelength of 646.6 nm, exploiting second order Bragg reflection in a relief grating with a period of 399 nm.
