Tailored Anderson localization with partially coherent light
Anderson localization and partially coherent light are at first sight unrelated, if one thinks in terms of interference. However, Anderson localization can be observed with non-coherent light, since a partially coherent beam can be viewed as a superposition of randomly phased components, which localize independently in a disordered media [1]. This gives rise to the question of how much transver...
متن کاملMeasurement-based tailoring of Anderson localization of partially coherent light
We put forward an experimental configuration to observe transverse Anderson localization of partially coherent light beams with a tunable degree of first-order coherence. The scheme makes use of entangled photons propagating in disordered waveguide arrays, and is based on the unique relationship between the degree of entanglement of a pair of photons and the coherence properties of the individu...

متن کاملAnderson localization of light
NATURE PHOTONICS | VOL 7 | MARCH 2013 | www.nature.com/naturephotonics 197 The scattering of waves due to disorder is ubiquitous throughout nature. Examples range from the scattering of light as it passes through clouds or sugar to the scattering of sound waves in the presence of fluctuations. These phenomena have intrigued scientists for centuries. However, a major breakthrough in the understa...
متن کاملLight Avoids Anderson Localization
The confinement of waves in a disordered medium—Anderson localization [1]—has been observed for electromagnetic [2, 3] and acoustic [4] waves in disordered dielectric structures, and for electron waves in condensed matter. Anderson localization arises as a result of the constructive interference between waves that follow time reversed paths as they loop back to a point as a result of scattering...
