Organic Diode Laser Dynamics: Rate-Equation Model, Reabsorption, Validation and Threshold Predictions

We present and analyze a simple model based on six rate equations for an electrically pumped organic diode laser. The model applies to organic host-guest systems and includes Stoke-shifted reabsorption in a self-consistent manner. With the validated model for the Alq3:DCM host-guest system, we predi...
