| A conventional laser cavity (left) has highly-reflecting mirrors which trap light long enough for amplification by the gain medium to be efficient. In the absence of gain, the oscillation frequencies are well-defined. In a random laser (right) the trapping of light is not achieved by mirrors, but by multiple scattering between sub-wavelength particles (red dots). Credit Hakan Türeci; Science. |
