Abstract Random Lasers (RLs) and Random Fiber Lasers (RFLs) have been the subject of
intense research since their first experimental demonstration in 1994 and 2007, respectively …

Scattering of light by disordered structures is a common phenomenon in our daily life. For
many scientific applications, scattering is often treated as a detrimental effect. However …

Random lasers have been recently exploited as a photonic platform for studies of complex
systems. This cross-disciplinary approach opened up new important avenues for the …

We report on measurements of the statistical fluctuations of the output intensity in a
continuous-wave-pumped erbium-doped one-dimensional random fiber laser (RFL), with …

Random lasers are optical sources where light is amplified by stimulated emission along
random paths through an amplifying scattering medium. Connections between their physics …

We present a theoretical and experimental study aimed at characterizing statistical regimes
in a random laser. Both the theoretical simulations and the experimental results show the …

Critical excitation in random lasers under picosecond and nanosecond pum** was
experimentally studied. The resulting emission intensity statistics were analyzed using fits to …

We report on the extreme-value statistics of output intensities in a one-dimensional cw-
pumped erbium-doped random fiber laser, with a strongly scattering disordered medium …

The interest in random fiber lasers (RFLs), first demonstrated one decade ago, is still
growing and their basic characteristics have been studied by several authors. RFLs are …

We derive analytically the Lévy-like steady-state distribution with exponential tempering of
emission intensities in random lasers. Our approach is based on the Langevin and …
