Directing random lasing emission using cavity exciton-polaritons
Random lasing is an intriguing phenomenon occurring in disordered structures with optical gain in which light scattering provides the necessary feedback for lasing action. Unlike conventional lasers, random lasing systems emit in all directions due to light scattering. While this property can be des...

Summary: | Random lasing is an intriguing phenomenon occurring in disordered structures with optical gain in which light scattering provides the necessary feedback for lasing action. Unlike conventional lasers, random lasing systems emit in all directions due to light scattering. While this property can be desired in some cases, directional emission remains required for most applications. In a vertical microcavity containing the hybrid perovskite

, we report here the coupling of the emission of a random laser with a cavity polaritonic resonance, resulting in a directional random lasing, whose emission angles can be tuned by varying the cavity detuning and reach values as large as 15.8
