Highly directional emission of RL process can be explained in terms of randomly distributed feedback, with index coupling, for which irregularities in thickness are responsible for effective refractive index fluctuations and thus random lasing can occur in slab waveguide mode. Other explanation assumes that thickness of relatively thin layer of starch (few microns) is lesser than mean free photon path, thus emitted light cannot be multiple scattered, and efficiently enhanced for modes traveling perpendicular to the surface plane. Only for very small angle of propagation counted from “stripe of excitation” multiple scattering can provide efficient positive feedback for lasing. The problem of random lasing directionality is very important and was discussed e.g. by Serdan et al. or Leonetti et al. [22] and [23].
Photostability measurements were conducted in the same experimental system that was described above, using pumping beam with energy density higher than threshold of random lasing emission and equal to ρ = 18 mJ/cm2. In order to quantitatively describe process of photodegradation of the starch doped with Rh6G layer we have estimated the half-life of random lasing emission, which was defined as number of pulses necessary to reduce random lasing integrated intensity by half. Investigated material had photostability equal to about 27,000 of pulses which is equivalent to 45 min degradation time over pulsed laser beam for half decay of the signal, as presented in Fig. 5.
