1. Introduction Prior to 2020, there was a shift in the way knowledge-based organizations worked [1]. Personal technologies and digital connectivity had evolved so rapidly [2] that people were asking, “Do we really need to come into the office to do our jobs?” We got our answer during the pandemic-era lockdowns [3]. In fact, we learned that most of us do not need to be in a physical workplace with our colleagues to get work done [4].

An optofluidic FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) laser is formed by putting FRET pairs inside a microcavity acting as a gain medium. This integration of an optofluidic laser and the FRET mechanism provides novel research frontiers, including sensitive biochemical analysis and novel photonic devices, such as on-chip coherent light sources and bio-tunable lasers. Here, we investigated an optofluidic FRET laser using quantum dots (QDs) as FRET donors.
