In this review, the concept of open cavity lasing for ultrasensitive sensing is explored,
specifically in driving important innovations as laser-based biosensors─ a field mostly …

Random lasers (RLs) are a particular class of optical devices. In a random laser, the optical
feedback is provided by scattering media rather than by an optical cavity, as for traditional …

Solitons attract a great deal of interest in many fields, ranging from optics to fluid mechanics,
cosmology, particle physics and condensed matter. However, solitons of these very different …

A disordered photonic medium is one in which scatterers are distributed randomly. Light
entering such media experiences multiple scattering events, resulting in a “random walk” …

Electrically powered solitons are particle-like field configurations in out-of-equilibrium
nematics that have garnered significant interest. However, their random generation and lack …

High-concentration (2–10 wt%) ZnCdSeS/ZnS alloyed quantum dot-doped polymer-
dispersed liquid crystals (QD-PDLCs) were prepared via ultraviolet (UV) curing. The QD …

Due to the unique self-acceleration, self-healing, and non-diffraction properties, Airy beams
have been explored extensively and found applications in various fields. It has been proven …

The most recent advances on phenomena and effects which involve spatial optical solitons
stemming from the reorientational optical response of nematic liquid crystals, the so called …

Laser emission in complex structures actively generates unclonable randomness in
multidimensional domains, which has great potential for information security. Especially …

As electrically generated solitons in liquid crystals, directrons represent intriguing structures
promising extensive application prospects in the areas of microcargo vehicles …
