Abstract
In this work, the authors report a composite based on the incorporation of LEP into a novel polymer matrix which shows low amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) threshold. A mechanically-flexible, surface emitting DFB laser with a threshold as low as those typically shown by organic DFB lasers made from neat materials is also demonstrated.
