Manipulation of the performance of the random lasers from dye-doped nematic liquid crystals with TiN nanoparticles in non-oriented cells is studied. The experimental results show that the introduction of TiN nanoparticles into dye-doped nematic liquid crystals significantly reduces the threshold of random lasing due to the localized surface plasmon resonance of TiN nanoparticles. The emission spectrum of random lasers can be controlled by the shape of the pump spot. The threshold of random lasers increases with the decrease of the length of pump stripe. In order to obtain the emission spectrum with fine discrete sharp peaks, the narrow pump stripe is more effective than the circular pump spot. When the pump area is more like a circle, the emission spectrum is more like an amplified spontaneous emission. The underlying mechanisms of these phenomena are discussed in detail. This study provides a promising platform for designing the high-quality and low-threshold random lasers which can be controlled by the shape of the pump spot.

The curve relating the smallest perceptible intensity of a blue test stimulus with the intensity of an orange conditioning field against which it is viewed shows a characteristic division into low- and high-intensity components, indicating the operation of two mechanisms of cone vision at the fovea. The justification for calling these ‘blue’ and ‘green’ mechanisms is taken from an earlier investigation (Stiles 1939). While most subjects show this division clearly, for some the low-intensity component is masked by the intrusion of rod vision. The correctness of this view is established by measurements made while the eye is recovering from an intense light adaptation. The individual variations of the sensitivities of the ‘green’ and ‘blue’ mechanisms in twenty subjects are assessed. Further evidence is obtained of an anomalously low threshold for the ‘blue’ mechanisms at very high conditioning fields of orange light.

Novel functionalities of disorder-induced scattering effect in random lasers, attributed to low spatial coherence, draw remarkable attention in high-contrast to superior quality speckle-free imaging applications. This paper demonstrates perovskite-polystyrene (PS)-based random lasing action with robust optical performance at room temperature. Optical characterizations are carried out upon perovskite thin films addition with polystyrene of different mixing concentrations (wt.%). A low threshold lasing operation is achieved with an increasing concentration of polystyrene, accompanying a wavy surface texture with high surface roughness. The rough surface dominating multiple scattering effects leads to enhanced feedback efficiency. Moreover, this study also elucidates efficient fabrication process steps for the development of high quality and durable PS-based random lasers. With the advantages of reduced coherent artifacts and low spatial coherence, speckle free projection images of the USAF (U. S. Air Force MIL-STD-150A standard of 1951) resolution test chart are shown for different PS-based random lasers.
