(PhysOrg.com) -- `Light scattering` and `optical performance` are two concepts that usually head in opposite directions, but they have recently been shown to walk happily hand-in-hand. The results are impressive laser output from some new composite materials and the potential for making commercially viable solid-state dye lasers.
