In any quantum or wave system dissipation leads to decoherence. Therefore, it was surprising in first instance when experiments on strongly lossy random lasers showed unambiguously by measurements of the photon statistics and of the lasing mode volume that coherent feedback is possible in such systems3-5,8. In coherent-feedback lasers the photons form a far-from-equilibrium condensate in the sense that a single quantum state is occupied by a macroscopic number of photons15. We demonstrate that the lossy dynamics of random lasers alone imply a three dimensional finite lasing mode extent, thus resolving the puzzle about coherent feedback without resonator. Our theory of random lasing including nonlinear gain and gain saturation predicts a characteristic dependence of this lasing mode volume on the pump intensity, which can be tested experimentally.
