Low threshold Rhodamine-doped whispering gallery mode microlasers fabricated by direct laser writing
Abstract The combination of the outstanding properties of whispering gallery modes with both the flexibility and ease of processing of polymers is particularly attractive for photonics applications. However, the versatile fabrication of polymeric nano/microdevices with the desired photonic performan...
