Linear multimode optical systems have enabled clean experimental observations and the applications of numerous phenomena that continually extend the boundaries of wave …
Light transport in a highly multimode fiber exhibits complex behavior in space, time, frequency, and polarization, especially in the presence of mode coupling. The newly …
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 …
We study the propagation of electromagnetic waves in disordered photonic time crystals: spatially homogenous media whose refractive index changes randomly in time. We find that …
One of the most interesting phenomena in solid-state physics is Anderson localization, which predicts that an electron may become immobile when placed in a disordered lattice …
Over the past decade, the Anderson localization of light and a wide variety of associated phenomena have come to the forefront of research. Numerous investigations have been …

We provide an overview of recent experimental and theoretical developments in the area of optical discrete solitons. By nature, discrete solitons represent self-trapped wavepackets in …
We experimentally investigate the evolution of linear and nonlinear waves in a realization of the Anderson model using disordered one-dimensional waveguide lattices. Two types of …
