Random lasing exploits multiple scattering to provide optical feedback without conventional resonant cavities, enabling simplified architectures that are readily integrated into compact photonic platforms such as wearable sensors and…
The role of coherent population oscillations is evidenced in the noise spectrum of an ultra-low noise lasers. This effect is isolated in the intensity noise spectrum of an optimized single-frequency vertical external cavity surface emitting…
A color-switchable random laser is designed through directly coupling random laser with a commercial optical fiber. By using a simple approach of selectively coating the random gain layer on the surface of fiber, the red and yellow random…
Manipulating and controlling the optical energy flow inside random media is a research frontier of photonics and the basis of novel laser designs. In particular, light amplification in randomly dispersed active inclusions under external…
The interaction of laser cooled and trapped atoms with resonant light is limited by the linewidth of the excited state of the atom. Another precise optical oscillator is an optical Fabry-P\'erot cavity. The combining of cold atoms with…
We explore coherent control of stimulated Raman scattering in the nonimpulsive regime. Optical pulse shaping of the coherent pump field leads to control over the stimulated Raman output. A model of the control mechanism is investigated.
We introduce a class of unidirectional lasing modes associated with the frozen mode regime of non-reciprocal slow-wave structures. Such asymmetric modes can only exist in cavities with broken time-reversal and space inversion symmetries.…
Random lasers are unique systems where lasing occurs due to repetitive scattering in a disordered nanostructure. Previous descriptions of random lasing are numerous, however a full time-dependent theory that describes the introduction of…
We consider the random lasing from a weakly scattering medium and demonstrate that the distribution of the threshold gain over the ensemble of statistically independent finite-size samples is universal. Universality stems from the facts…
There is currently a strong interest in mirrorless lasing systems, in which the electromagnetic feedback is provided either by disorder (multiple scattering in the gain medium) or by order (multiple Bragg reflection). These mechanisms…
Random lasers have been recently approached as a photonic platform for disordered complex systems, such as spin glasses. In this work, using a Nd$^{3+}$:YBO$_3$ random laser system operating in the nonresonant (diffusive) feedback regime,…
Nonlinear dynamical systems possessing reflection symmetry have an invariant subspace in the phase space. The dynamics within the invariant subspace can be random or chaotic. As a system parameter changes, the motion transverse to the…
The creation of nanoscale lasers that operate above a coherent threshold is a challenging problem. We propose a way to circumvent this issue using systems in which a strong coupling regime is achieved between the light and the active…
Propagation of light in a highly scattering medium is among the most fascinating optical effect that everyone experiences on an everyday basis and possesses a number of fundamental problems which have yet to be solved. Conventional wisdom…
Strongly coupled large-angle stimulated Raman scattering (LA SRS) of a short intense laser pulse proceeds in a plane plasma-filled capillary differently than in a plasma with open boundaries. Oblique mirror reflections off capillary walls…
We develop an analytical theory for diffusive random lasers by coupling the transport theory of the disordered medium to the semiclassical laser rate equations, accounting for (coherent) stimulated and (incoherent) spontaneous emission.…
If disorder-induced Anderson localized states have been observed experimentally in optics, their study remains challenging leaving a number of open questions unsolved. Among them, the impact on Anderson localization of non-Hermiticity,…
We address the problem of achieving an optical random laser with a cloud of cold atoms, in which gain and scattering are provided by the same atoms. The lasing threshold can be defined using the on-resonance optical thickness b0 as a single…
A disordered mean field model for multimode laser in open and irregular cavities is proposed and discussed within the replica analysis. The model includes the dynamics of the mode intensity and accounts also for the possible presence of a…
Random lasers (RL) emit light through multiple scattering in disordered gain media, typically resulting in isotropic emission with limited directionality control. Controlling RL emission direction in compact systems remains a challenge.…
