Solid‐state laser systems based on molecular sieves may not be far away. Here, the incorporation and linear alignment of a pyridine‐based laser dye in the channels of AlPO 4 ‐5 is reported and the spectroscopic properties of the composite are investigated. A first indication that AlPO 4 ‐5–laser dye composite crystals show laser action is demonstrated for microcrystals with a highly intergrown shape (see Figure).
