Abstract :
A plastic-based microlaser array was fabricated by a lithographic technique using an organic dye-doped photopolymer. Each laser element in this device array has an optical cavity along the vertical direction. Under optical pumping, very fine emission spectra showing a Fabry-Pérot type lasing were observed. The microlasers with desired operation wavebands could be conveniently integrated by using this technique.
