Organic Solid-State Lasers: Past and Future

Dodabalapur et al discuss how organic solid-state lasers are an excellent example of how basic research in one area can influence many other fields. The lasers possess the potential to provide a compact, low-cost optical source over a broad range of wavelengths throughout the visible spectrum.
