Dye-doped polystyrene (DDPS) encapsulated in a silica-glass capillary with a diameter of 300 μm was fabricated through radical polymerization of styrene within the capillary. The coherent random lasing (RL) with full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 0.36 nm and a quality factor of 1608 was produced in the DDPS with the capillary when pumping at 532 nm. However, the incoherent RL with FWHM of 6.62 nm and a quality factor of 92 was produced in the DDPS without the capillary. A detailed investigation on this phenomenon by changing the diameter of the capillary and core refractive index (RI) reveals that there exists a strong whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonance in the capillary, which helps generate the coherent RL. The findings may open up a new approach for the fabrication of highly efficient photonic devices.

In this paper, the boundary rounding effects of two types of non-circular GaN microcavity system are numerically simulated by the finite element method. When the rounding parameter [Formula: see text] of the hexagonal microcavity decreases, the six corners of the regular hexagon are gradually rounded, the results show that the optical mode gradually changes from the hexagonal whispering-gallery mode (WGM) to the perfect circular WGM, and the quality factor of the modes increases correspondingly. For the oval microcavity, the structure parameter [Formula: see text] increases from 0 to 1 when the oval microcavity gradually changes from a stadium cavity to a circular cavity. The simulation results show that the quality factor increases with [Formula: see text], and the optical mode changes from high-leak mode to WGM. Our results demonstrate the effect of the boundary rounding on the mode pattern and quality factor in hexagonal and oval microcavities.
