Conversely, mirrorless lasers can be built by using disordered structures to induce multiple scattering, which increases the effective path length in the gain medium and thus provides the necessary feedback. These so-called random lasers potentially offer a new and simple mean to address applications such as lighting. To date, they are all based on condensed-matter media. Interestingly, light or microwave amplification by stimulated emission occurs also naturally in stellar gases and planetary atmospheres.
