Abstract

The realization of a polymeric injection laser diode is an important aim in organic electronics. A crucial step towards this goal lies in the understanding and fabrication of feedback structures for lasers. Such feedback structures may be fabricated either in the substrate or directly in the active polymer layer.

Soft Lithography has proven itself as a useful tool to pattern a wide variety of materials. Typically one uses elastomeric molds (stamps) to pattern materials and structures whereby dimensions as low as 30 nm can be achieved.

Different types of Soft Lithographic processes are applied to produce optical feedback structures for optically pumped laser arrays.
