Abstract

Read online

Organic microlaser sensors are highly promising for chemical vapor detection due to their chemical versatility, but their poor stabilities are hampering applications. Here the authors report the synthesis and lasing properties of a dye that is self-assembled into microwires exhibiting a strong acid vapor response and good stability.
