Microsphere solid state biolasers
arXiv:1702.01544
Abstract
Microsphere solid-state biolasers made of biomaterials-bovine serum albumin, pectin and cellulose are demonstrated. The fabrication is simple, based on emulsion, and with green processing. A lasing threshold of 1 microJ/mm2 and Q factor of 3000 are measured. The lasers are biocompatible, do not interfere with cell growth and division.
