title: Lasing from organic quasicrystal fabricated by seven- and nine-beam interference.
abstract: We demonstrate mirrorless lasers based on all organic nanostructure fabricated by seven- and nine-beam interference using low contrast material, holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystals (H-PDLC). A finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation is used to study the transmission of quasicrystal. The wavelengths of lasing peak are determined by both of local structure of quasicrystal that the pumping light experienced as well as the photoluminescence of laser dye doped. Features of mirrorless laser from quasicrystal based on H-PDLC include directional light source, low threshold, simple fabrication process, low cost and tunability. These properties make H-PDLC photonic quasicrystal promising for a new type of all organic miniature lasers.
