The efficient feeding of spontaneous emission (SE) into a controlled optical mode lies at the heart of a new generation of advanced optoelectronic devices, such as low‐threshold microlasers and bright sources of quantum light. In the solid state, single‐mode emission was first demonstrated by using...
