Wrinkled Graphene Structure and Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Induced Stretchable White Random Lasers Based on GLN‐functionalized 2D WS₂ Quantum Dots

Abstract

This study presents investigations into the fabrication, characterization, and performance analysis of stretchable white random lasers based on 2D glutamine(GLN)‐functionalized WS2 quantum dots (QDs) enhanced by the integration of Au nanoparticles (NPs) and a wrinkled graphene structure. Wrinkled graphene holds the potential for achieving transient population inversion through electron collisions. Incorporating Au NPs introduces localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), which enhances the light‐matter interaction, resulting in reduced lasing thresholds. The GLN‐functionalized WS2 QDs exhibit strong photoluminescence emission, and their integration with a wrinkled graphene structure and Au NPs creates a synergistic effect that enhances the emission efficiency and enables the realization of white random lasing. The extensive characterization and analysis of the emission spectra under different deformation ratios provide valuable insights into the tunability and reliability of these devices, as well as the importance of light trapping due to the wrinkled graphene structure. The findings of this study underscore the significant potential of LSPR and wrinkled graphene structure induced stretchable and white random lasers based on 2D GLN‐functionalized WS2 QDs. These lasers may have a promising application in the field of flexible and wearable photonics, which is a critical step towards the development of next‐generation optoelectronic devices with improved performance.
