Abstract: The solid state laser with conjugated oligomer active material uses a lasing medium including a conjugated oligomer embedded in a transparent crystal matrix. The lasing medium preferably also includes a thermally conductive material. A pump laser generates a pump laser beam to impinge on the lasing medium, causing the lasing medium to generate at least one amplified spontaneous emission laser beam. The transparent crystal matrix may be formed from an epoxy thermosetting plastic, such as that formed from a hardener and an epoxy, such as isobornyl acrylate, ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate, ethyl 2-cyano-3,3-bis(methylthio)acrylate, ethyl cyanoacrylate, ethyl cis-(?-cyano)acrylate, poly(bisphenol A-co-epichlorohydrin) or bisphenol A. The conjugated oligomer may be 1,4-bis(9-ethyl-3-carbazo-vinylene)-9,9-dihexyl-fluorene (BECVH-DHF). The thermally conductive material may be molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) or [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM 60).

Abstract: The conjugated polymer laser with temperature-controlled power output uses a triphenylamine dimer-based conjugated polymer as the laser medium to produce an output laser beam having a beam energy tunable between approximately 20 ?J and approximately 325 ?J over a temperature range of the triphenylamine dimer-based conjugated polymer between approximately 40° C. and approximately 85° C. The triphenylamine dimer-based conjugated polymer laser medium is a solution of poly[N,N?-bis(4-butylphenyl)-N,N?-bisphenylbenzidine], known as poly-TPD(4B), dissolved in toluene. Poly-TPD(4B) has a long side chain of butyl (C4H9), providing temperature-dependent dimerization, which may not be found with shorter chains of butyl, such as in poly-TPD(4E) or poly-TPD(4M). The molar concentration of the poly-TPD in the solution is between approximately 5 ?M and approximately 100 ?M.
