Light‐emitting organic materials continue to assume increasing significance in the field of semiconductor laser research, and the Figure depicts several structures that have been demonstrated using organic semiconductors. This review provides a description of the fundamental aspects of lasers and a historical overview of their development, followed by a discussion of the recent progress in optically pumped lasers, and their implications for laser technology.
