Popis: By adding photonic wire structures to an organic microcavity, we create an additional confinement and a Bloch-like band structure in the dispersion of periodically structured cavities. We experimentally observe spontaneous and stimulated emission from the ground and different excited discrete modes at room temperature. By changing the spatial gain distribution via a two-beam interference, we are able to directly control the laser emission from both extended and confined modes of such organic photonic wires. Both spatial distribution and dispersion exhibit coherent emission from tunable modes, which we describe with an analytical model and numerical simulations, in agreement with our measurements.
