Multiple scattering of classical waves: microscopy, mesoscopy, and diffusion

MCW van Rossum, TM Nieuwenhuizen - Reviews of Modern Physics, 1999 - APS
A tutorial discussion of the propagation of waves in random media is presented. To a first
approximation the transport of the multiple scattered waves is given by diffusion theory, but …

Resonant multiple scattering of light

A Lagendijk, BA Van Tiggelen - Physics Reports, 1996 - Elsevier
This educational work presents a new approach towards resonant interaction between
classical light and matter. The interaction between light and matter is considered from three …

Quantum electrodynamics near a photonic band gap: Photon bound states and dressed atoms

S John, J Wang - Physical review letters, 1990 - APS
It is shown that in dielectrics exhibiting a complete photonic band gap, quantum
electrodynamics predicts the occurrence of bound states of photons to hydrogenic atoms …

Statistical signatures of photon localization

AA Chabanov, M Stoytchev, AZ Genack - Nature, 2000 - nature.com
The realization that electron localization in disordered systems (Anderson localization) is
ultimately a wave phenomenon, has led to the suggestion that photons could be similarly …

Phase control algorithms for focusing light through turbid media

IM Vellekoop, AP Mosk - Optics communications, 2008 - Elsevier
Light propagation in materials with microscopic inhomogeneities is affected by scattering. In
scattering materials, such as powders, disordered metamaterials or biological tissue …

Looking through walls and around corners

I Freund - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1990 - Elsevier
It is shown theoretically that under appropriate conditions a visually opaque, multiply
scattering optical barrier can be made to serve as a thin lens which produces a near perfect …

Microwave localization by two-dimensional random scattering

R Dalichaouch, JP Armstrong, S Schultz, PM Platzman… - Nature, 1991 - nature.com
WAVEFUNCTIONS of electrons or photons in a strongly scattering random medium may
become localized owing to the underlying wave nature of the particles1, 2. Particularly …

Optical analogue of electronic bloch oscillations

R Sapienza, P Costantino, D Wiersma, M Ghulinyan… - Physical Review Letters, 2003 - APS
We report on the observation of Bloch oscillations in light transport through periodic
dielectric systems. By introducing a linear refractive index gradient along the propagation …

Speed of propagation of classical waves in strongly scattering media

MP van Albada, BA van Tiggelen, A Lagendijk, A Tip - Physical review letters, 1991 - APS
We present results of optical experiments which demonstrate that in a strongly scattering
medium containing resonant scatterers the velocity for electromagnetic energy may differ by …
