- The hybrid electronically addressable random (HEAR) laser is a novel type of random fiber laser that presents the remarkable property of selection of the fiber section with lasing emission. Here we present a joint analysis of the correlations between intensity fluctuations at distinct wavelengths and replica symmetry breaking (RSB) behavior of the HEAR laser. We introduce a modified Pearson coefficient that simultaneously comprises both the Parisi overlap parameter and standard Pearson correlation coefficient. Our results highlight the contrast between the correlations and presence or not of RSB phenomenon in the spontaneous emission behavior well below threshold, replica-symmetric ASE regime slightly below threshold, and RSB phase with random lasing emission above threshold. In particular, in the latter we find that the onset of RSB behavior is accompanied by a stochastic dynamics of the lasing modes, leading to competition for gain intertwined with correlation and anti-correlation between modes in this complex photonic phase.

- We report here a novel architecture for a random fiber laser exploiting the combination of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and an erbium doped fiber (EDF). The EDF was optically biased by a continuous wave pump laser, whereas the SOA was arranged in a fiber loop-mirror and driven by nanosecond duration current pulses. Laser pulses were obtained by synchronizing the SOA driver to the returning amplified Rayleigh back-scattered light from a selected short section of the EDF. By tuning the SOA pulse rate, random lasing was achieved by addressing selected meter-long sections of the 81-m long EDF, which was open-ended. Laser oscillation can be potentially obtained with SOA modulation frequencies from several kHz to the MHz regime. We discuss the mechanism leading to the hybrid random laser emission, connecting with phase sensitive optical time domain reflectometry and envision potential applications of this electronically addressable random laser.
