Directional random lasing in dye- Ti O 2 doped polymer nanowire array embedded in porous alumina membrane

We have demonstrated the lasing in the porous alumina membrane filled with hybrid polymer nanowires which consisted of poly(N-vinylcarvazole), rhodamine 6G, and Ti O 2 nanoparticles. The angle-resolved photoluminescence measurement suggested that lasing had a strong directionality along the hybrid p...

Description
Summary:We have demonstrated the lasing in the porous alumina membrane filled with hybrid polymer nanowires which consisted of poly(N-vinylcarvazole), rhodamine 6G, and Ti O 2 nanoparticles. The angle-resolved photoluminescence measurement suggested that lasing had a strong directionality along the hybrid polymer nanowires which were embedded within the nanochannels of the membrane. Although wavelengths of the lasing peaks were not affected by excitation and detection angles, lasing behavior strongly depended on the pore diameters of the membranes utilized. It is suggested that the closed loops for lasing are formed via multiple scattering induced by Ti O 2 nanoparticles embedded in the hybrid polymer nanowires.
