Silk is a natural biocompatible material that can be integrated in a variety of photonic systems and optoelectronic devices. The silk replication of patterned substrates with features down to tens of nanometers is exploited to realize highly transparent, mechanically stable, and free-standing structures with optical wavelength size. We demonstrate organic lasing from a blue-emitting stilbene-doped silk film spin-coated onto a one-dimensional distributed feedback grating (DFB). The lasing threshold is lower than that of organic DFB lasers based on the same active dye. These findings pave the way to the development of an optically active biocompatible technological platform based on silk. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.
