LED-pumped polymer laser developed
6th May 2008
Ying Yang, a research student working with Dr Graham Turnbull and Professor Ifor Samuel has recently demonstrated an LED-pumped polymer laser. This development opens the way for a new generation of low cost tunable visible lasers. The work has been highlighted in a News and Views piece in Nature [1] and by optics.org and will be presented by Miss Yang in a talk at the prestigious International Conference on the Science and Technology of Synthetic Metals in Brazil in July. The published paper, was one of the top twenty downloaded articles on Applied Physics Letters.
