TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the current state of the art in the field of random distributed feedback feedback laser (RDFL) generation, and discuss existing and future applications of random fiber laser, including telecommunication and distributed long reach sensor systems.

TL;DR: An overview of recent advances in the random fiber laser field, including high-power and high-efficiency generation, spectral and statistical properties of random fiber lasers, nonlinear kinetic theory of such systems, and emerging applications in telecommunications and distributed sensing are provided.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a random fiber laser that is tunable over a broad wavelength range with uniquely flat output power and high efficiency, which outperforms traditional lasers of the same category.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a self-consistent theory based on wave kinetic equations that describes the generation spectrum and output power of a Raman fiber laser (RFL), and show that the quasi-degenerate four-wave mixing between different longitudinal modes is the main broadening mechanism in the one-stage RFL at high powers.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the laminar phase is analogous to a one-dimensional coherent condensate and the onset of turbulence is due to the loss of spatial coherence.
