Electrically pumped network random lasers

Objective

Random lasers based on disorder and multiple scattering are alternative means to generate laser light. Although random lasers have been studied for over thirty years, very few practical applications utilizing random lasers have been realised. The main difficulty with random lasers has been achieving electrical pumping with high conversion efficiency and obtaining directional beam output. Resolving these difficulties will make random lasers practical and will open up many new applications, such as in optical computing and image projection. In this project we propose to develop an electrically pumped network random laser. This new type of laser will have high conversion efficiency and directional beam output, and can be easily integrated on a chip with waveguides. This project is at the cross-roads of nanophotonics, complex systems and network science, and thus is quite multi-disciplinary in nature. Results from this project will be technologically significant and will enable rapid commercialisation of random lasers, which has thus far been limited.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

MSCA-IF-EF-ST - Standard EF

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
