(Received 13 August 2010; accepted 3 October 2010; published online 26 October 2010)

An efficient, low-cost, and highly photostable second-order distributed feedback (DFB) laser, fabricated by thermal nanoimprint lithography and based on a polymer active film containing a perylenediimide derivative, is reported. It shows a photostability half-life of 3.1×105 pump pulses (>8 h), when pumped at the same spot of the film. This value is the highest reported to date for organic DFB lasers measured under ambient conditions. The device emits at 573 nm, matching the second low-loss transmission window of poly(methylmethacrylate) (460–590 nm), thus offering potential for applications in data communications based on polymer optical fibers.
