Random fiber lasers blend together attractive features of traditional random lasers, such as
low cost and simplicity of fabrication, with high-performance characteristics of conventional …

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 …

We show that an arbitrary body or aggregate can be made perfectly absorbing at discrete
frequencies if a precise amount of dissipation is added under specific conditions of coherent …

The concept of random lasers making use of multiple scattering in amplifying disordered
media to generate coherent light has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. Here …

The optics of correlated disordered media is a conceptually rich research topic emerging at
the interface between the physics of waves in complex media and nanophotonics. Inspired …

The concept of random lasers exploiting multiple scattering of photons in an amplifying
disordered medium in order to generate coherent light without a traditional laser resonator …

Plasmon lasers are a new class of coherent optical frequency electromagnetic wave
amplifiers that deliver intense, coherent and directional surface plasmons well below the …

For photonic devices, structural disorder and light scattering have long been considered
annoying and detrimental features that were best avoided or minimized. This review shows …

Lasers have enabled scientific and technological progress, owing to their high brightness
and high coherence. However, the high spatial coherence of laser illumination is not always …

An unusual spectrally reproducible near‐IR random lasing (RL) with no fluctuation of lasing
