Abstract :
We demonstrated a solid-state polymer DFB laser with self dye-circulatory function by PDMS waveguide. We achieved to recover the laser output intensity by dye diffusion in PDMS waveguide. To the best of knowledge, this is the novel solid-state polymer laser, which is possible to circulate laser dye.
