Abstract
In order to realize a simple and small sized tunable laser with biomaterial based thin films, azo molecule Disperse Red 1 (DR1) was incorporated into DNA-surfactant complex with several fashions. Large photoinduced response with was observed under cw green laser excitation. With introducing a laser dye into blend films composed of DR1-copolymer and DNA complex by immersing them into dye solutions, we succeeded in the demonstration of laser oscillation with low pumping energy and quick tuning with a simple mechanical operation. For improvement of the film quality, a new surfactant including azocarbazole dye was synthesized, showing comparable laser induced birefringence.
