When the intensity of the continuously pumped light reaches a specific value,the number of inversion populations in the"scattering cavity"surpasses the threshold rapidly.Simulation results based on a model that considers power-dependent gain saturation confirmed the above phenomenon.This research helps expand the understanding of the dynamics behind random medium-stimulated emission in random lasers and opens up possibilities for mode locking in these systems.
