Abstract

The impact of temperature on the conversion coupling efficiency between Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) dye and hybrid nanoparticles, composed of gold (Au) and copper (Cu), and its influence on the performance of random lasers is investigated. The study focused on the interaction between the photophysical properties of Rh6G dye molecules and the plasmonic and thermal effects of Au/Cu nanoparticles (NPs) at varying temperatures. We analyzed the interaction between the dye molecules and nanoparticles as a function of pumping energy and temperature focusing on laser parameters laser threshold, full width at half maximum (FWHM), and peak intensity. Our results show that increasing pumping energy and temperature significantly affects the FWHM's narrowing, and peak intensity enhancement. We found that with increasing pumping energy, the FWHM narrowed to about 8 nm for Au and Cu nanoparticles, and the peak intensity was enhanced to about 40,000 a.u. for AuNPs and 28,000 a.u. for CuNPs. While, we found that with increasing temperature, the FWHM decreased to about 0.6 nm for AuNPs and 0.8 nm for CuNPs, and the peak intensity increased to about 5400 a.u. for AuNPs and 9400 a.u. for CuNPs. This study provides insight into optimizing random laser performance through temperature control, potentially advancing the development of tunable photonic devices.
