An all-polymer semiconductor integrated device is demonstrated with a high-mobility
conjugated polymer field-effect transistor (FET) driving a polymer light-emitting diode (LED) …

The demonstration of the first laser, made with ruby in 1960, 1 has led to a revolution in
science and technology. Lasers have transformed spectroscopy giving previously …

Organic solid‐state lasers are reviewed, with a special emphasis on works published during
the last decade. Referring originally to dyes in solid‐state polymeric matrices, organic lasers …

Light‐emissive polymers are outstanding laser materials because they are intrinsically “4‐
level” systems, they have luminescence efficiencies higher than 60% even in undiluted films …

Thin-film organic, colloidal quantum dot, and metal halide perovskite semiconductors are all
being pursued in the quest for a wavelength-tunable diode laser technology that does not …
