Nanocomposite Random Lasers
Abstract
This report results from a contract tasking FORTH, Foundation for Research & Technology--Hellas as follows: The contractor will synthesize polymer nanocomposite materials and will investigate their properties appropriate to developing a new generation of flexible lasers. The contractor will develop composites by: incorporating semiconductor nanoparticles ZnO, ZnS, ZNSe, and others) into inert polymer matrices; by incorporating high refractive index nanoparticles (TiO2, BaTiO3, and others) into fluorescent conjugated polymers; and by synthesizing nanocomposites using commerically available nonlinear polymers. The contractor will deposit synthesized nanocomposites onto various surfaces and will characterize their dispersion characterisics, viscoelastic properties, and optical properties for lasing.
