Lasing behavior in a liquid spherical dye laser containing highly scattering nanoparticles.
With the addition of scattering nanoparticles to dye-doped spherical droplets, lasing has been observed with well-defined thresholds in input-output data. One-order or more magnitude enhancement of peak intensity from droplet emission has been obtained with certain (optimum) additive scattering particles compared with nonadditive scattering particles (neat dye-doped droplets). Characteristics of input-output intensities, emission spectra (with wavelength shifts), and spectral linewidths are reported experimentally, depending on additive quantities of scattering nanoparticles.
