Abstract

It is reported experimentally that low-threshold random lasing in a weakly scattering disordered structure formed by speckles using holography is achieved. It shows that the emission property of the structure is related directly to the pulse duration of the pump laser. If pumped by picosecond pulses, several spikes are observed in the emission. If pumped by a nanosecond laser, only a single dominant peak appears. The wavelength tunability of the random laser with a change in temperature has been demonstrated. The corresponding physical analyses have also been provided briefly.
