A light source with narrowband, sufficient brightness, and low spatial coherence is required for certain applications such as optical imaging and free-space optical communication. In this study, our focus was to investigate a novel imaging laser source, specifically a low-threshold random laser enhanced by TiN nanoparticles. The results demonstrate that the random laser spectrum exhibits an impressive bandwidth of 0.23 nm, accompanied by an incredibly low spatial coherence factor of merely 0.15. Due to the low spatial coherence of random laser, the speck contrast is less than 0.02 when the light passes through a scattering system. Notably, when compared to traditional lasers, the use of a random laser yields significantly superior imaging quality in both scatterless and complex scattering environments. This finding highlights the immense potential of the random laser as a narrowband and low spatial coherence laser source for robust speckle-free imaging applications, particularly in environments with intricate scattering phenomena. Furthermore, this breakthrough can be extended to various other domains, including free-space optical communication.
