  • Analysis of the influence of graphene doping concentration and temperature on laser performance.

    • Main Results:

    • An improvement in random laser performance was observed with QD/graphene-doped polymers.
    • The QD/reduced graphene oxide hybrid demonstrated a significantly lower laser emission threshold (~460 μJ/cm²).
    • Laser emission modes and thresholds were found to be dependent on graphene concentration and temperature, with decreased plasmon coupling at higher temperatures.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides a practical method for optimizing the threshold and stability of random laser devices.
    • Reduced graphene oxide is an effective dopant for enhancing QD-based random lasers.
    • These enhanced random lasers have potential applications in displays, sensors, and anti-counterfeiting technologies.
