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 …

Small lasers have dimensions or modes sizes close to or smaller than the wavelength of
emitted light. In recent years there has been significant progress towards reducing the size …

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 …

Core–shell nanoparticles have attracted surging interests due to their flexibly tunable
resonances and various applications in medical diagnostics, biosensing, nanolasers, and …

Random lasers made out of disordered media have a rich but often unpredictable laser light
emission, in all directions and over many frequencies. Strategies for taming random lasing …

A waveguide-plasmonic scheme is constructed by coating the matrix of randomly distributed
gold nanoisland structures with a layer of dye-doped polymer, which provides strong …

Owing to exotic optical responses, metallic nanoparticles and nanostructures are finding
broad applications in laser science, leading to numerous design variations of plasmonic …

A mechanically-tunable random laser based on a waveguide-plasmonic scheme has been
investigated. This laser can be constructed by spin coating a solution of …

Random lasers (RLs) are a particular class of optical devices. In a random laser, the optical
feedback is provided by scattering media rather than by an optical cavity, as for traditional …

Aluminum (Al) is known as a plasmonic material effective in a wide frequency range up to
the ultraviolet, while its plasmonic properties in the near infrared region have been less …
