Resonance energy transfer process in nanogap-based dual-color random lasing

The resonance energy transfer (RET) process between Rhodamine 6G and oxazine in the nanogap-based random systems is systematically studied by revealing the variations and fluctuations of RET coefficients with pump power density. Three working regions stable fluorescence, dynamic laser, and stable laser are thus demonstrated in the dual-color random systems. The stable RET coefficients in fluorescence and lasing regions are generally different and greatly dependent on the donor concentration and the donor-acceptor ratio. These results may provide a way to reveal the energy distribution regulars in the random system and to design the tunable multi-color coherent random lasers for colorful imaging.
