Open AccessThe single-channel regime of transport through random media
The propagation of light through samples with random inhomogeneities can be described by way of transmission eigenchannels, which connect incoming and outgoing external propagating modes. Although the detailed...

Photon Localization in Resonant Media
In analogy with electron localization in insulators [1], it has been anticipated that photons may be trapped by the constructive interference of waves returning to a point within a strongly scattering medium [2]....

Mesoscopic Dynamics
Spatial coherence is rapidly lost as a wave penetrates a multiply scattering medium since the wave at any point is the sum of randomly scattered partial waves. Nonetheless, in samples in which the wave is not ...

Statistical Approach to Photon Localization
A statistical description of wave propagation in random media is necessary to characterize large fluctuations found in these samples. The nature of fluctuations is determined by the closeness to the localizati...

Statistical signatures of photon localization
The realization that electron localization in disordered systems1 (Anderson localization) is ultimately a wave phenomenon2,3 has led to the suggestion that photons could be similarly localized by disorder3. This ...
