This tutorial gives an overview of the transverse Anderson localization of light in one and two
transverse dimensions. A pedagogical approach is followed throughout the presentation …

Nearly a decade ago, transverse Anderson localization was observed for the first time in an
optical fiber with a random transverse refractive index profile. This started the development …

In sufficiently strong scattering media, light transport is suppressed and modes are
exponentially localized. Anderson-like localized states have long been recognized as …

Localized states trap waves propagating in a disordered potential and play a crucial role in
Anderson localization, which is the absence of diffusion due to disorder. Some localized …

Disordered optical fibers show novel waveguiding properties, enabled by the transverse
Anderson localization of light, and are used for image transport. The strong transverse …

We observe chaotic optical wave dynamics characterized by erratic energy transfer and
soliton annihilation and creation in the aftermath of a three-soliton collision in a …

Anderson localization of light is traditionally described in analogy to electrons in a random
potential. Within this description, the random potential depends on the wavelength of the …

In this work, we experimentally demonstrate for the first time strong localization of surface
plasmon polaritons (SPPs) at visible regime in metallic nanogratings with short-range …

Anderson localization in random structures is an intriguing physical phenomenon, for which
experimental verifications are far behind theoretical predictions. We report the first …

We theoretically investigate the propagation of bright spatial solitary waves in highly
nonlocal media possessing radial symmetry in a three-dimensional cylindrical geometry …
