Optimization of the transport mean free path and the absorption length in random lasers with non-resonant feedback

We have studied numerically the optimal range of the transport mean free path lt and the absorption length (at the pumping wavelength) la, which minimize the threshold and maximize the slope efficiency of a random laser with non-resonant feedback. The results of the calculations are in a good agreement with the experimental results obtained in the GaAs/Al2O3 random laser.
