Whispering-gallery-mode full-color laser textiles and their anticounterfeiting applications
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Light-emitting fabric can facilitate the innovation of wearable display applications. Electronic and luminescent textiles capable of communicating, sensing, and supplying energy have been achieved. However, a facile strategy for fabricating large-area flexible lasing textiles has not yet been reported. In this work, we propose a gravity-assisted rotatory drawing method for fabricating flexible lasing microfibers, which can be woven into multicolor lasing textiles. By regulating the doped dyes and solution viscosity, we achieve the mass manufacturing of lasing microfibers with different emission colors and modes and further weave them into full-color textiles with a wide color gamut, approximately 79.1% larger than that of standard RGB space. For application, we print nanoparticle patterns on the lasing textile and encode it with programmable lasing signal distribution, which can supply an anticounterfeiting label for efficient authentication. This work unifies the fabrication and application of lasing textiles, and we expect that this will provide a new platform for flexible lasing devices.
