Picosecond gain-switched polymer fiber random lasers

Random lasers are a type of lasers that lack typical resonator structures,offering benefits such as easy integration,low cost,and low spatial coherence.These features make them popular for speckle-free imaging and random number gen-eration.However,due to their high threshold and phase instability,the production of picosecond random lasers has still been a challenge.In this work,we have developed three dyes incorporating polymer optical fibers doped with various scat-tering nanoparticles to produce short-pulsed random fiber lasers.Notably,stable picosecond random laser emission lasting 600 ps is observed at a low pump energy of 50 μJ,indicating the gain-switching mechanism.Population inversion and gain undergo an abrupt surge as the intensity of the continuously pumped light nears the threshold level. 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.
