This book presents a unique integrated and updated perspective on the field of organic sources of coherent radiation from high-average power lasers to miniaturized organic lasers and coherent sources. The book also describes the field of organic photonics in chapters dedicated to organic laser dyes, polymer matrices for lasers, polymer-nanoparticle composites, bio-based gain media, engineering of OLEDs, and a handbook style description of applications for organic sources and photonics. Also included is a unique and extensive description of organic dye molecules for the exciting field of optogenetics. This 126-page description is un-paralleled in today's literature. The book also includes an updated chapter on organic lasers as sources of ensembles of indistinguishable photons, with orthogonal polarizations, for quantum entanglement. The following chapter describes intrinsic quantum coherent emission. Part of IOP Series in Coherent Sources, Quantum Fundamentals, and Applications.
