Polymer lasers are extremely compact visible lasers; the research described in the thesis is groundbreaking, driving forward the technology and physical understanding to allow these lasers to be routinely pumped by a single high-power LED. A notable advance in the work is the demonstration of nanoimprinted polymer lasers, which exhibit the world's lowest pump threshold densities by two orders of magnitude. The thesis also advances the application of these compact, novel lasers as highly sensitive detectors of explosive vapours, demonstrating that rapid detection can be achieved when microporous polymers are used. This work also demonstrates a prototype CMOS-based microsystem sensor for explosive vapours, exploiting a new detection approach. 000695679 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000695679 650_0 $$aSemiconductor lasers. 000695679 650_0 $$aExplosives$$xDetection. 000695679 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWang, Yue, author.$$tLow threshold organic semiconductor lasers and their application as explosive sensors$$z9783319012667$$w(OCoLC)859187308 000695679 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 000695679 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000695679 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-01267-4$$zOnline Access 000695679 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:695679$$pGLOBAL_SET 000695679 980__ $$aEBOOK 000695679 980__ $$aBIB 000695679 982__ $$aEbook 000695679 983__ $$aOnline 000695679 994__ $$a92$$bISE
