In　this　study,　high-order　distributed-feedback　(DFB)　polymer　lasers　were　comparatively　investigated.　Their　performance　relies　on　multiple　lasing　directions　and　their　advantages　include　their　high　manufacturing　tolerances　due　to　the　large　grating　periods.　Nine　laser　cavities　were　fabricated　by　spin-coating　the　gain　polymer　films　onto　a　grating　structure,　which　was　manufactured　via　interference　lithography　that　operated　at　the　2nd,　3rd,　and　4th　DFB　orders.　Low　threshold　lasing　and　high　slope　efficiency　were　achieved　in　high-order　DFB　polymer　lasers　due　to　the　large　grating　groove　depth　and　the　large　gain　layer　thickness.　A　high-order　DFB　configuration　shows　possible　advantages,　including　the　ability　to　control　the　lasing　direction　and　to　achieve　multiple-wavelength　lasers.　Furthermore,　our　investigation　demonstrates　that　the　increase　in　threshold　and　decrease　in　slope　efficiency　with　an　increase　in　the　feedback　order　can　be　limited　by　controlling　the　structural　parameters.
