Organic lasers are not as powerful as traditional lasers made with gallium or indium compounds, but they can be easily printed or deposited directly on any type of surface.
In the isolated state gallium salt and organic compounds are non-conductive but Hla and his colleagues have evidence that these two substances formed by the metal lines are superconducting properties.
Luxtera's design eliminates the need to use expensive group iii-v compounds, such as gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium phosphate (InP), in the semiconductors.
