Andrew, On a different subject – have you written anything on the UDH species of Dr. Leif Holmlid in relationship to your DDL?
At first glance it would seem unlikely that the two are not related or even the same species. Jones From: Andrew Meulenberg Thank you for the reference (below). I see this as a possible explanation of the coherent optical (and x-ray?) emission and even the rf emissions that have been detected in active CF reactions. The intense EM fields (direct and as photons) associated with nuclear decay via the deep-orbit electrons (proposed as the operative mechanism for CF effects) act as an intense 'pump' source to produce microscopic (perhaps plasma-like) lasing regions: "... the statistical properties of the emission of a laser with non-resonant feedback are very close to those of the emission from an extremely bright ‘black body’ in a narrow range of the spectrum. The emission of such a laser has no spatial coherence and is not stable in phase." Nevertheless, linear defects within the lattice (a proposed source of CF) would provide a basis for spatial coherence. The reference addresses, and has many sources on, types of lasing that we generally don't consider. Andrew M.

I was the contract monitor. Prof. Nabil Lawandy developed LASER PAINT. It incorporated nanopowders that scattered light and resulted in stimulated emission It is widely used today.
