Laser physics: Fantastic plastic
Ifor D. W. Samuel1
Abstract
Plastics are ubiquitous, thanks to the cheapness and versatility of these materials. Now plastic lasers are in prospect, battery-operated for low-cost communication and display applications.
Nearly all plastics are electrical insulators, but one class of plastics is different. These are conjugated polymers, whose discovery was celebrated with the award of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
