Abstract
We report successful room-temperature up-conversion random lasing by distributing quantum dots (QDs) uniformly into nanotubes (NTs). In order to overcome the difficulty in purifying the QDs, NTs were designed to collect QDs and enhance the optical multiple scattering effect. A threshold of and narrow full width at half-maximum of 0.49 nm with a relatively high quality factor of 1089 were successfully observed. These results indicate that NTs can be high-performance up-conversion lasers for practical applications, especially when the phase matching required by conventional approaches cannot be fulfilled.
