Abstract
We have demonstrated an anti-Stokes random laser emission at in micrometer-size powder of . The maximal pumping wavelength, , exceeded the lasing wavelength by nearly 50%. We conclude that both one- and two-photon pumping contribute to optical excitation of the material, with the two-photon pumping being a key process in creating the population inversion and gain.
