Lasing was achieved in a new type of random laser: the planar random microcavity laser. The laser consists of a planar microcavity with a random gain layer. Optical confinement by the two-dimensional random cavity and the one-dimensional planar microcavity drastically reduces the number of resonant modes. As a result, the laser output is highly directional (the divergence angle is 1.68 degrees) with an extremely narrow-linewidth and ultralow threshold. All these phenomena are explained in terms of the coupling of random cavity modes and planar microcavity modes. The results demonstrate an important step towards applications of random lasers.

The increasing prevalence and detrimental effects of volatile organic compounds are driving the need for selective on-site sensors that do not require complex sampling or instrumentation. Broadband selective sensors exhibiting selectivity based on their distinct response mechanism is becoming of increasing technological relevance in both industrial and urban settings. In this context, we propose a label-free sensor based on a polymeric planar microcavity embedded with a fluorescent organic dye, designed to detect various pollutants in the vapor phase.

Article Synopsis
- A study explores a new method to create ultra-narrow emission linewidths in quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) that significantly improves color purity and display quality.
- This involves using a planar microcavity structure with a distributed Bragg reflector, achieving an impressive reduction in emission linewidth to 11 nm.
- The newly developed red QLEDs not only demonstrate increased external quantum efficiency (rising from 28.2% to 35.6%) but also offer a longer operational lifespan, paving the way for future high-definition displays.

We study the entanglement harvesting between two identical buckled honeycomb lattices placed inside a planar microcavity. By applying time dependent perturbation theory, we obtain quantum correlations between both layers induced by the cavity field. Considering the vacuum state as the initial state of the cavity field and tracing out the time-evolved degrees of freedom, we analyze the entanglement formation using the concurrence measure.

Transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers possess large exciton binding energy and a robust valley degree of freedom, making them a viable platform for the development of spintronic devices capable of operating at room temperature. The development of such monolayer TMD-based spintronic devices requires strong spin-dependent interactions and effective spin transport. This can be achieved by employing exciton-polaritons.

Vibrational polaritons form in a planar Fabry-Pérot microcavity when a vibrational mode of a layer of molecules is near resonant with an infrared cavity mode. Here, dispersion relations of vibrational polaritons are studied when the molecular density distribution breaks the macroscopic translational symmetry along the cavity mirror plane. Both perturbative theory and numerical calculations show that, if a homogeneous in-plane molecular distribution is modulated by sinusoidal fluctuations, in addition to a pair of upper and lower polariton branches, a discrete number of side polariton branches may emerge in the polariton dispersion relation.
