In a random laser (RL), a system possessing in itself both resonator and amplifying medium while lacking a macroscopic cavity, the feedback is provided by the scattering, which forces light to travel very long random paths. Here, we demonstrate that RL properties may be tuned by the topology of the scattering system retaining unchanged scattering strength and gain efficiency. This is possible in a system based on sparse clusters, possessing two relevant structural lengths: the macroscopic inter cluster separation and the mesoscopic intra-cluster mean free path.

Abstract
In a random laser (RL), a system possessing in itself both resonator and amplifying medium while lacking a macroscopic cavity, the feedback is provided by the scattering, which forces light to travel very long random paths. Here, we demonstrate that RL properties may be tuned by the topology of the scattering system retaining unchanged scattering strength and gain efficiency. This is possible in a system based on sparse clusters, possessing two relevant structural lengths: the macroscopic inter cluster separation and the mesoscopic intra-cluster mean free path.File in questo prodotto:
