In this Review, the theory and applications of optical micro‐and nano‐resonators are
presented from the underlying concept of their natural resonances, the so‐called quasi …

The newly emerging field of wave front sha** in complex media has recently seen
enormous progress. The driving force behind these advances has been the experimental …

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 …

A major challenge in quantum optics and quantum information technology is to enhance the
interaction between single photons and single quantum emitters. This requires highly …

A conventional lens has well-defined transfer function with which we can form an image of a
target object. On the contrary, scattering media such as biological tissues, multimode optical …

Complex media such as random nanostructures and biological tissues induce multiple wave
scattering, which interrupts the propagation of waves and attenuates energy transmission …

Anderson's groundbreaking discovery that the presence of stochastic imperfections in a
crystal may result in a sudden breakdown of conductivity revolutionized our understanding …

Photonic structures are building blocks for many optical applications in which light
manipulation is required spanning optical filtering, lasing, light emitting diodes, sensing and …

Super-resolution, extraordinary transmission, total absorption, and localization of
electromagnetic waves are currently attracting growing attention. These phenomena are …

We investigate the one-dimensional expansion of a Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical
guide in the presence of a random potential created with optical speckles. With the speckle …
