Intrinsic fluctuations in random lasers

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We present a quantitative experimental and theoretical study of shot-to-shot intensity fluctuations in the emitted light of a random laser. A model that clarifies these intrinsic fluctuations is developed. We describe the output versus input power graphs of the random laser with an effective spontaneous emission factor (beta factor).
