When we first heard the term “random laser,” we did a double-take. After all, most ordinary sources of light are random. One defining characteristic of a traditional laser is that it emits coherent ...

Random Lasers are tiny structures emitting light irregularly into different directions. Scientists have now shown that these exotic light sources can be accurately controlled. Random Lasers are tiny ...

At its most basic level, a random laser is precisely what its name implies; random. It's random in the spectrum of light it produces and in the way that light is emitted, making what could be an ...
