The doped nanocrystalline laser has wide application prospects in fields of information, biomedicine and industry, etc. Nowadays, the research of doped nanocrystalline laser is still in the initial germinating stage of innovation. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out the research on the mechanisms of doped nanocrystalline lasing both in scientific research and application fields. The goal of this research proposal is to present special attention on the key factors which influence the performance of doped nanocrystalline laser. Based on the density functional theory and first principles approach, a study on the elheectronic structure and optical characteristic of ions doped in nanocrystals were carried out. The aggregate process of doped nanocrystalline’s growth is simulated by molecular dynamics.For doped nanocrystals and host material and laser medium, the methods of test and characterization have been established. The major mechanisms for the partially lasing and spectral tuning have been explored, based on the experimental results; Dynamic characteristics of micro/nano cavity have been studied, the theoretical model and corresponding software for the doped nanocrystalline laser have been established, while the design for micro/nano cavity has been proposed. The experimental setup for doped nanocrystalline laser has been constructed. Compared with theoretical results, better parameters of the pump source and the micro/nano cavity and nanocrystals have been chosen, then the setup has been optimized, and finally doped nanocrystalline laser with tunable spectra have been obtained.The results can be used as the basis of the optimization for doped nanocrystalline laser’s performance.
