Abstract
Highly luminescent organic solid state systems attract intensive interest as innovative approaches for photonic applications including display and laser technology as well as telecommunication applications.1,2 In the following we present two types of new polymeric materials for organic device applications. From a novel synthesis route employing polycondensation we obtain an improved quality of MEH-PPV3 and use this π-con- Jugated polymer as the active laser medium in a first-order DFB-laser (fig. 1a). Therefore we make use of the experimental Lloyd-mirror configuration (fig. lb) allowing to control the spectral mode output over the full range of laser device tunability (605 nm <λ1 < 635 nm). This configuration provides a tool to screen the full set of parameters required for an optimized device design.4
