Concurrent Optical Gain Optimization and Electrical Tuning in Novel Oligomer:Polymer Blends with Yellow-Green Laser Emission.

Electrically pumped organic lasing requires the integration of electrodes contact into the laser cavity in an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) or organic field effect transistor configuration to enable charge injection. Efficient and balanced carrier injection requires in turn alignment of the energy levels of the organic active layers with the Fermi levels of the cathode and anode. This can be achieved through chemical substitution with specific aromatic functional groups, although paying the price for a substantial (and often detrimental) change in the emission and light amplifying properties of the organic gain medium.
