Plastic electronics, based on conjugated polymers, combine the benefits of cost-effective processability compatible with large-area deposition for designing laser geometries of virtually any shape. This is impossible with rigid inorganic semiconductor materials. These highly luminescent materials have been incorporated into a variety of resonator geometries such as photonic crystals or distributed feedback (DBF) cavities to enable optically pumped conjugated polymer lasers with emission across the visible and near-infrared spectrum.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2019-10-flexible-transparent-cost-effective-lasers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Flexible, transparent and cost-effective lasers<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The interest in plastic electronics and photonics has experienced a significant increase in the last decades due to the exceptional optical, semiconducting and mechanical properties of these materials.
