Real time random laser properties of Rhodamine-doped di-ureasil hybrids

Opt Express. 2010 Mar 29;18(7):7470-8. doi: 10.1364/OE.18.007470.

Abstract

This investigation explores, for the first time, the random laser behavior of ground powder obtained from organic-inorganic hybrid materials based on Rhodamine 6G incorporated into a di-ureasil matrix. The experimental results, both in the spectral and temporal domains, obtained by pumping with picosecond laser pulses, show the existence of efficient random laser emission in this system. Finally, the random laser performance is compared with the one of other Rhodamine-doped solid state silica compounds.
