Hybrid Resonators: Lasing and Macroscopic Coherence of Hybridized Modes in Coupled 2D Waveguide‐VCSEL Resonators (Advanced Optical Materials 8/2016)

A. Mischok and co-workers develop a hybrid waveguide–vertical cavity surface emitting laser on page 1215. An angle-resolved emission spectrum of such a hybrid laser is presented on their cover image. The linear dispersion lines of an organic waveguide are scattered into the surface emission of a microcavity via a high-order diffraction grating and enable the observation of novel hybrid laser modes (red) with a macroscopically increased coherence length.
