摘要
The random laser from sheared dye-doped polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (DDPDLC) is investigated. As the emission intensity weakens, the threshold of random laser from DDPDLC increases from 2.0 mJ/pulse to 4.0 mJ/pulse, and the degree of polarization (DOP) increases from 0.1 to 0.78, obviously when the shear distance increases from 0 mm to 4 mm. As the liquid crystal droplets are gradually oriented in the shear direction caused by alignment direction of polymer chain and anisotropy of droplet shape, the scattering intensity perpendicular to the shear direction gradually decreases and that parallel to the shear direction gradually increases. The anisotropic absorption of the laser dye also plays a certain role as the shear distance is 0 mm. The controllable intensity and polarization degree of random laser have a huge potential for sensing applications.
