Abstract:
The random laser differs from other types of laser in that its cavity is formed not by mirrors but by multiple scattering in a disordered gain medium. Over the course of ten years, random lasers have been attentive by many researchers in the world because their characteristics can lead to unique applications. This report presents the mechanism of random laser operation, classification, characteristics and prediction of different applications. Some research results of authors about random laser have also been noted in report.
