Far less effort has been directed at organic solid-state spectra than at organo-metallics and coordination complexes. Much of the work on organic systems was done by Walter Gordy and his students at Duke University in the 1960s and 1970s. We review a couple of these experiments here. More information is available in Gordy s book.30... 

George M. Whitesides is Mallinckrodt Professor of Chemistry at Harvard University. He received his A.B. from Harvard College in 1960 and his Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology in 1964. His research areas are Materials Science and Organic Chemistry, with specific focus in surface chemistry, materials science, self-assembly, capillary electrophoresis, organic solid state, molecular virology, directed ligand discovery, and protein chemistry. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and he received the U.S. National Medal of Science in 1998.

All these waveguiding films lack one important feature that would be necessary for true lasing They do not have a resonator for optical feedback that would lock the optical modes traveling in the gain direction. The thin-film waveguide confines the optical modes in one direction (in the vertical), but in the other two dimensions the modes have translational and rotational symmetry. The incorporation of resonator structures into the thin films in order to get true organic solid-state lasers will be described next.
