Abstract

Random lasers in dye-doped nematic liquid crystal (DDNLC) cells with different structures are studied. By choosing the cell gap and the cells rubbing methods, the DDNLC random laser obtains lower energy threshold. The DDNLC random laser energy threshold can also be decreased with an Al mirror as the external feedback from 4.2 μJ/pulse to 1.5 μJ/pulse. It is worth mentioning that the random laser shifts red and intensity increases with the Al mirror. The study of the DDNLC random laser with cell structure is aimed to obtain a low power consumption laser at a lower cost.
