Abstract
Abstract We have demonstrated a low threshold and tunable flexible random laser (RL) in dye-doped poly ethylene glycol diacrylate (PEG-DA) hydrogel, which was prepared by crosslinking polymerization using PEG-DA monomer and photoinitiator. The random lasering is attributed to the light scattering from the porous structure of hydrogels, and the wavelength of random lasing can be tuned by ~3.2 nm in the temperature range from 30 °C to 70 °C. Under the continuous increasing and decreasing temperature cycle, the random lasing tunable phenomenon can still be observed, which proves that this flexible material can be used as a new temperature sensor. In addition, we also explored the application of flexible laser in phototherapy. Considering the good elasticity and transparency of hydrogels, this thermo-responsive property will be of great significance to the biomedical applications of flexible material.
