Abstract

Microstructures, characterized by gain, nonlinearity, internal scattering, and boundary effects, offer an exceptional platform for exploring complex optical phenomena such as random lasing, chaos, and multidimensional speckles. Specifically, complex lasers generated within microcavities and optical fibers, where strong light confinement and scattering play diverse roles, have become a significant branch of laser research. Recently, the rapid advancement of materials, micro-nano technologies, and artificial intelligence has introduced new opportunities and challenges for the generation, control, and application of complex lasers. This review systematically examines various types of microcavity complex lasers from the perspective of microcavity structures with different degrees of disorder. It primarily focuses on the historical development, characteristics, regulation, and applications of disordered microcavity lasers and concludes with a discussion on the future trends in the development of microcavity complex lasers.

微腔复杂激光器：从有序到无序

以增益、非线性、内部散射和边界效应为特征的微结构为探索随机激光、混沌和多维斑点等复杂光学现象提供了一个卓越的平台。具体来说，在微腔和光纤中产生的复杂激光，其强光束约束和散射起着不同的作用，已成为激光研究的一个重要分支。近年来，材料、微纳技术和人工智能的快速发展为复杂激光的产生、控制和应用带来了新的机遇和挑战。本综述从具有不同无序度的微腔结构的角度，系统研究了各种类型的微腔复合激光器。主要介绍了无序微腔激光器的历史发展、特点、调控和应用，最后讨论了微腔复合激光器的未来发展趋势。

期刊介绍： Annalen der Physik (AdP) is one of the world''s most renowned physics journals with an over 225 years'' tradition of excellence. Based on the fame of seminal papers by Einstein, Planck and many others, the journal is now tuned towards today''s most exciting findings including the annual Nobel Lectures. AdP comprises all areas of physics, with particular emphasis on important, significant and highly relevant results. Topics range from fundamental research to forefront applications including dynamic and interdisciplinary fields. The journal covers theory, simulation and experiment, e.g., but not exclusively, in condensed matter, quantum physics, photonics, materials physics, high energy, gravitation and astrophysics. It welcomes Rapid Research Letters, Original Papers, Review and Feature Articles.
