Abstract

We have demonstrated amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) restoration and threshold reduction by introducing a novel water/alcohol soluble conjugated macroelectrolyte, tris(4-(7-(9,9-di(hexyl-1-N,N-diethanolamino)-9H-fluoren-2-yl)-9,9-di(hexyl-1-N,N-diethanolamino)-9H-fluoren-2-yl)phenyl)amine (TPAOH), serving as an interfacial layer between the gain media layer, dioctyl substituted polyfluorene (PFO), and the Ag electrode layer. By optimizing the film thickness of TPAOH, enhanced ASE performance has been achieved with the lowest threshold of 21 μJ/cm², demonstrating 3.5-fold reduction from 74 μJ/cm². Atomic force microscopy results showed good compatibility between the TPAOH film and the PFO layer. The results suggest a facile and low-cost solution-processing interfacial technique to construct efficient organic semiconductor lasers in the presence of metallic electrodes.
