Abstract
A first random (powder) laser was discovered by Markushev et al. in 1986.1 Since then, random lasers were studied extensively. Their unique properties and very low cost make random lasers attractive for many potential applications. The degree of light localization by scattercrs is important in the analysis of random laser emission. In this work, we show that random laser emission can be observed at very weak localization of light and low feedback.
