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. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aLasers 606 $aPhotonics 606 $aNanoscience 606 $aNanoscience 606 $aNanostructures 606 $aSemiconductors 606 $aMicrowaves 606 $aOptical engineering 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030 606 $aNanoscale Science and Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25140 606 $aSemiconductors$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25150 606 $aMicrowaves, RF and Optical Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24019 606 $aNanotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000 615 0$aLasers. 615 0$aPhotonics. 615 0$aNanoscience. 615 0$aNanoscience. 615 0$aNanostructures. 615 0$aSemiconductors. 615 0$aMicrowaves. 615 0$aOptical engineering. 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 14$aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices. 615 24$aNanoscale Science and Technology. 615 24$aSemiconductors. 615 24$aMicrowaves, RF and Optical Engineering. 615 24$aNanotechnology. 676 $a621.36 676 $a621.366 700 $aWang$b Yue$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0791358 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300374203321 996 $aLow Threshold Organic Semiconductor Lasers$91768739 997 $aUNINA
