Abstract
The synthesis, structural characterization, and lasing properties of new dye-sensitized organic scattering gain medium based on Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) confined in polymeric nanoparticles are reported. We have demonstrated coherent laser action from amplifying random media using dye confined into polymeric nanoparticles as scattering centers and gain media. Lasing efficiency and photostability were significantly enhanced by nonresonant feedback of the emission by multiple scattering.Keywords
