However, such devices are very difficult to realize in practice. In a new report, Huajun He and a research team in physics, materials science and chemistry in Singapore, China and the U.S., developed a single crystal with multiple segments to generate controlled, single-mode, near-infrared (NIR) lasing. Multiple segments of the single crystal were based on a metal organic framework (MOF) hybridized with dye molecules suited for green, red and near-infrared lasing as computationally simulated.  The segmented assembly of different dye molecules in the microcrystal caused it to act as a shortened resonator to achieve dynamic, multicolor single-mode lasing with a low three-color-lasing threshold (red, green and NIR). The findings will open a new route to explore single-mode, micro\/nanolasers constructed with MOF engineering for biophotonic applications. The work is now published on Nature Light: Science &amp; Applications.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-08-metal-framework-mof-microcrystals-multicolor.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Metal organic framework (MOF) microcrystals for multicolor broadband lasing<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multicolor single-mode polarized microlasers containing an output range from visible light to the near-infrared have significant applications in photonic integration and multimodal chemical sensing or imaging applications.
