B {\\bf 67}, 161101 (R) (2003)] reported an observation of what is the first genuine multi-mode behavior in random lasers. They observed a splitting of a single lasing line into two lines with close frequencies when pumping is increased beyond a certain threshold. Here we are pointing out that the qualitative interpretation of these experiments given in that paper is misleading.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-06-18T21:21:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random lasers", "mode repulsion", "mode coupling", "first genuine multi-mode behavior", "paper cao" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003cond.mat..6485D" } } }
