In complex media such as white paint and biological tissue, light encounters nanoscale
refractive-index inhomogeneities that cause multiple scattering. Such scattering is usually …

What do lotus flowers have in common with human bones, liquid crystals with colloidal
suspensions, and white beetles with the beautiful stones of the Taj Mahal? The answer is …

The optics of correlated disordered media is a conceptually rich research topic emerging at
the interface between the physics of waves in complex media and nanophotonics. Inspired …

Photonic crystals have proven their potential and are nowadays a familiar concept. They
have been approached from many scientific and technological flanks. Among the many …

After exactly half a century of Anderson localization, the subject is more alive than ever.
Direct observation of Anderson localization of electrons was always hampered by …

The transition from diffusive transport to localization of waves should occur for any type of
classical or quantum wave in any media as long as the wavelength becomes comparable to …

We report the first experimental demonstration of combined spatial and temporal control of
light transmission through opaque media. This control is achieved by solely manipulating …

Living organisms have developed a wide range of appearances from iridescent to matte
textures. Interestingly, angular-independent structural colors, where isotropy in the scattering …

Diffusive wave transport in three-dimensional media should show a phase transition, with
increasing disorder, to a state without transport. This transition was first discussed by …

There are numerous physical situations in which a hole or leak is introduced in an otherwise
closed chaotic system. The leak can have a natural origin, it can mimic measurement …
