Abstract

Motivated by the recent progresses in one-atom laser and single-molecule manipulation, this work presents the model and simulations of a single dye molecule laser device, which consists of a single dye molecule as an acceptor in a microcavity pumped by multiple donors via the intermolecular resonance energy transfer mechanism. The photon intensity is calculated at the emission peaks of donor and acceptor dyes for different pump rates and donor numbers. Finally, it is demonstrated that stimulated emission gains a distinct advantage over spontaneous emission under appropriate conditions. This work would have many important applications in a wide range of fields from physics and chemistry to nanotechnology in future.
