Random lasing arises when optical gain combines with multiple scattering in a disordered medium to provide feedback in lieu of a conventional cavity. In such systems light undergoes diffusive or ...

Physicists in France are the first to create a random laser in a cloud of cold atoms under laboratory conditions. The effect was first seen decades ago in stellar clouds and the team believes that its ...

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that a newly emerging technique known as random Raman lasing emission can produce a bright, speckle-free, strobe light source with potential ...
