Collective stimulated emission processes in conjugated polymers makes these materials potential candidates for laser applications. The fabrication of a low‐cost flexible distributed feedback laser (see Figure and also the cover) by spin‐coating a conjugated polymer onto a specially structured, flexible plastic substrate is reported. Single‐mode laser emission in the blue‐green spectral region has been achieved.
