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 …

Stretchable and self-healable structural-colored nanocomposite gelatin hydrogel with
photonic structure of random dense/loose regions of non-close-packed silica nanoparticles …

Whiteness arises from diffuse and broadband reflection of light typically achieved through
optical scattering in randomly structured media. In contrast to structural colour due to …

A random laser is a system formed by a random assembly of elastic scatterers dispersed into
an optical gain medium. The multiple light scattering replaces the standard optical cavity of …

Disorder and photonics have long been seen as natural adversaries and designers of
optical systems have often driven systems to perfection by minimizing deviations from the …

Self‐assembly techniques are widely used to grow ordered structures such as, for example,
opal‐based photonic crystals. Here, we report on photonic glasses, new disordered …

CELES is a freely available MATLAB toolbox to simulate light scattering by many spherical
particles. Aiming at high computational performance, CELES leverages block-diagonal …

Materials exhibiting multidimensional structure with characteristic lengths ranging from the
nanometer to the micrometer scale have extraordinary potential for emerging optical …

The color of materials usually originates from a combination of wavelength‐dependent
absorption and scattering. Controlling the color without the use of absorbing dyes is of …
