Random lasers as fascinating new light sources

In recent years there has been an enormous development in the understanding of light transport in disordered materials, in particular in systems with optical gain. A phenomenon termed random lasing can be observed, which can be used to realize a random laser. We will describe the behaviour of these fascinating new light sources that resemble in various respects a regular laser while the lasing process is based on light diffusion.
