In order to achieve this objective, we employ a laser writing system to create micro-ring arrays and subsequently cover them with a plasmonic gold thin film using a sputtering machine. Additionally, the chemical vapor deposition method is employed to generate the graphene layer. To use this medium as random laser active media, we cover it with Rh6G dye and PVP polymer as the top high index layer to get more localization of light. After theoretically and experimentally evaluating the plasmonic substrate, we use the second harmonic generation of Nd:YAG laser as the source and record the random lasing of the sample under 45° via spectrometer.
