Random Lasers — •C.W.J. Beenakker — Instituut-Lorentz, Universiteit Leiden

A random laser differs from a conventional laser in that the feedback is provided by multiple scattering from disorder rather than by confinement from mirrors. The statistical properties of the radiation are strikingly different because the scattering is chaotic (in contrast to integrable scattering in a conventional laser). An overview is presented of this new field at the border of statistical physics and quantum optics.
