Abstract Random Lasers (RLs) and Random Fiber Lasers (RFLs) have been the subject of
intense research since their first experimental demonstration in 1994 and 2007, respectively …

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 …

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 …

A laser is not necessarily a sophisticated device: pumping an amplifying medium randomly
filled with scatterers makes a perfectly viable 'random laser'. The absence of mirrors greatly …

Super-resolution microscopy refers to a powerful set of imaging techniques that overcome
the diffraction limit. Some of these techniques, the importance of which was recognized by …

Random lasers are intriguing devices with promising applications as light sources for
imaging, sensing, super-resolution spectral analysis or complex networks engineering …

Broadband coherent light sources are becoming increasingly important for sensing and
spectroscopic applications, especially in the mid-infrared and terahertz (THz) spectral …

Hybrid halide perovskites are proposed for next-generation photovoltaics and lighting
technologies due to their remarkable optoelectronic properties. In this study, we demonstrate …

Huge spectral coverage of random lasing throughout the visible up to the infrared range is
achieved with star-shaped gold nanoparticles (“nanostars”). As intrinsically broadband …
