Abstract

An integrated random laser based on green materials with dissolubility and recyclability is created and demonstrated. The dissolvable and recyclable random laser (DRRL) can be dissolved in water, accompanying the decay of emission intensity and the increment in lasing threshold. Furthermore, the DRRL can be reused after the process of deionized treatment, exhibiting excellent reproducibility with several recycling processes.

Keywords: biocompatible; dissolvable; environmentally sustainable; random lasers; recyclable.
