Abstract
Recently, laser action was observed in random-scattering1 and biological gain media.2 In this paper, the linewidth of lasing emission from biological and random gain media are shown to be affected by the scattering characteristics of the media. This finding indicates that the linewidth could be used to characterize the optical properties of biomedical tissues for diagnosis.
