摘要
We report on random lasing in a disordered system in which the multiple scattering feedback mechanism can be switched from a three-dimensional random walk to a quasi-two-dimensional type of transport. The emission from this system is anisotropic, extraordinary polarized, and is controlled via an external electric field. The phenomenon is observed in dye-doped polymer dispersed liquid crystals and makes use of the strong scattering anisotropies in these materials.
