ABSTRACT
The hybrid inorganic-organic polymer was synthesized by sol-gel
method from TMSPMA. Organic dye laser of DCM was
added into hybrid polymer host matrices by means of solution method at room
temperature. The distributed feedback (DFB) laser was fabricated from
hybrid polymer-DCM film using Lloyd Mirror
interference technique. The surface profile of device was observed using AFM.
From the AFM image, we obtained that the grating period was about
385 nm and the depth of corrugation was about 60 nm. The characteristics of DFB laser
was investigated by optical pumping using SHG Nd-YAG (λ=532
nm). The laser emission has been demonstrated at 582 nm with the spectral width
(FWHM)
less than 2 nm at pumping power of 14.00 mJ/pulse cm2.
The experimental results have been confirmed by the
theoretical model using coupled mode theory. The confirmation of
experimental works by the theoretical model has a good result.

sol-gel daripada TMSPMA. Laser dai organik DCM telah
ditambahkan ke dalam matriks polimer hibrid dengan menggunakan kaedah larutan

telah difabrikasi daripada filem polimer hibrid-DCM menggunakan
teknik pembelauan Lloyd Mirror. Profil pada permukaan
daripada peranti laser diamati menggunakan AFM. Daripada imej AFM,
kita boleh mengukur kala parutan ~385 nm dan kedalaman kerut ~60 nm. Ciri laser DFB telah dikaji dengan pam optik
menggunakan SHG Nd-YAG (λ = 532 nm). Pemancaran laser telah ditunjukkan pada 582 nm dengan lebar spektrum (FWHM)
kurang daripada 2 nm untuk daya pam 14.00 mJ/denyut cm2. Hasil eksperimen telah disahkan oleh model teori menggunakan
teori mod terganding. Pengesahan hasil kerja
eksperimen dengan model teori mempunyai hasil yang baik.
