Morphology-dependent resonant laser emission of dye-doped ellipsoidal microcavity

We report a morphology-dependent resonance (MDR) laser emission of rhodamine-doped ellipsoidal microcavity of the poly(methylmethacrylate) particles. Elliptical particles showed different lasing properties: the lasing threshold, intramode spectral separation, mode intensity, and spectral position, when an excitation is pointed to the different locations on the particle. This differs from the well-understood MDR lasing in spherical microparticles.
