Abstract

Active laser arrays, of arbitrary pattern, were created by inkjet deposition of self-assembled photonic structures in the form of dye-doped chiral nematic liquid crystals. The print process itself achieves the requisite alignment for photonic band-edge lasing action normal to the substrate; laser threshold and linewidth characteristics are presented.
