Tapered optical fibers with a subwavelength diameter exhibit a highly confined mode with a pronounced evanescent field. These properties result in efficient coupling between emitters along the fiber and the guided mode and make it highly desirable for sensitive absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. In this work, we report mirror-less, low-threshold laser-like action from an organic gain medium surrounding the nanofiber. We discuss variations in temporal and spectral widths as a function of the excitation pulse energy as well as a threshold in the emission signal in the context of self-absorption and re-emission.
