Miniature droplet-based FRET lasers stabilized by superhydrophobic surfaces

We demonstrate optofluidic microlasers based on liquid microdroplets stabilized by a superhydrophobic surface. Lasing is achieved using highly efficient non-radiative Förster resonance energy transfer between donor and acceptor molecules placed within the droplets.
