Abstract

Amplified spontaneous emission (travelling-wave lasing) was achieved for a set of 18 poly(2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene-vinylene) (MEH-PPV) related arylene-vinylene copolymers, a part of which substituted with additional phenyl groups at the vinyl double bond. Wave-guiding neat thin films on glass substrates were used. The samples were transversally pumped with single second harmonic pulses of a mode-locked ruby laser (wavelength 347.15 nm). Travelling-wave emission occurred in the wavelength region between 485 and 650 nm. Repeat unit based absorption cross-section spectra, normalized fluorescence quantum distributions, and amplified spontaneous emission spectra are presented. Ground-state absorption cross-sections at the wavelengths of peak amplified emission are extracted from effective gain length measurements. Effective stimulated emission cross-sections are derived from pump pulse energy densities necessary for optical narrowing.
