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 …

Disorder, which qualitatively describes some measure of irregularities in spatial patterns, is
ubiquitous in many-body systems, equilibrium and non-equilibrium states of matter, network …

Linear multimode optical systems have enabled clean experimental observations and the
applications of numerous phenomena that continually extend the boundaries of wave …

First predicted for quantum particles in the presence of a disordered potential, Anderson
localization is a ubiquitous effect, observed also in classical systems, arising from the …

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 …

By Avila's global theory, we analytically reveal that the non-Hermitian mobility edge will take
on a ring structure in the complex plane, which we name as the “mobility ring”. The …

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 …

We review both theoretical and experimental advances in the recently emerged field of
modulated photonic lattices. These artificial periodic dielectric structures provide a powerful …
