Microsphere solid state biolasers

Optics 2017-02-07 v1

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.
