Abstract

Many nanoforms of zinc oxide (ZnO) structures can be synthesized, such as spheres, rods, flowers, disks and walls, as scatter centers in random laser. However, nanoflower and nanowire shapes in this work have received particular interest due to their wide range of applications, including biological, medical cancer cell detection, gas sensors, and biosensors. In this paper, we investigate the optical and morphological properties of two-shaped nanoparticles as scatter centers in the laser active medium on the performance emission of a random laser. Fluorescence and absorption spectra show that 10 $^{- 4}$ M for R6G dye and $0.184 \times 1 0^{13}$ cm $^{- 3}$ ZnO NPs are the optimal nanocomposite film concentrations for R6G dye. With excitation energies ranging from 3.44mJ to 28.34mJ and a repetition rate of 2Hz, second-harmonic generation Nd: YAG laser Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) spectra of the nanocomposite films were observed. The results indicated a minimum bandwidth (Full width at half maximum (FWHM)) of 13nm at a threshold energy of 8.65mJ for ZnO NW (nanowire) nanocomposite films at $0.184 \times 1 0^{13}$ cm $^{- 3}$ with R6G dye at 10 $^{- 4}$ M and Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The ZnO NF (nanoflower) nanocomposite film had an FWHM of 11nm and a threshold energy of 4.8mJ at the same concentrations of R6G dye on PMMA.
