Dynamics of random laser emission: Investigation and practical perspectives

The random laser has represented an important topic in photonics and an opportunity to develop new potential practical applications. Our work, both experimental and theoretical, has been devoted to characterize, understand and control the emission in random laser systems in weakly scattering media. Three statistical regimes of the emission spectrum have been detected, besides modifications in the output directionality. Moreover, here we report our preliminary results in the field of sensing, that can open new promising perspectives.
