title: Diode-pumped, mechanically-flexible polymer DFB laser encapsulated by glass membranes.
abstract: A diode-pumped, mechanically-flexible organic distributed-feedback laser that is fully encapsulated with ultra-thin glass is reported. The organic laser is excited by 450 nm laser diode and emits at 537 nm with an oscillation threshold of 290 W/cm². The encapsulation format of the device results in a photostability that is improved by two orders of magnitude compared to a non-encapsulated reference device while maintaining mechanical flexibility thanks to an overall device thickness below 105 µm. The laser is also wavelength-tunable between 535 nm and 545 nm by bending the ultra-thin glass structure.
