We measure the emission dynamics of an optically pumped high-Q organic vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). As active material, we use the organic semiconductor composite of tris-(8-hydroxy quinoline) aluminium (Alq₃) and 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(p-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran (DCM). A rate equation model describes the dynamics [1]. Due to optical anisotropy in the dielectric mirror layers, two perpendicularly polarized laser lines appear. An upconversion experiment provides a 400 fs temporal resolution. The observed line splitting of 0.18 THz results in a modulation of the laser emission at 5.5 ps period time and is also modelled using a rate equation approach.
