Abstract
Flatband photonic lattices, i.e. arrays of waveguides or resonators displaying a flat Bloch band, offer new routes for light trapping and distortion-free imaging. Here it is shown that flatland lattices can show stable and cooperative laser emission when optical gain is supplied to the system, despite the large degree of degeneracy of flatland supermodes. By considering a quasi one-dimensional rhombic lattice of coupled semiconductor microrings, selective pumping of the outer sublattices can induce cooperative lasing in a supermode of the flat band
