Classical and wave properties of microlasers with the shape of a truncated pseudosphere are investigated through experiments and numerical simulations. These pseudosphere microlasers are surface-like organic microlasers with constant…
Flat lens concept based on negative refraction proposed by Veselago in 1968 has been mostly investigated in monochromatic regime. It was recently recognized that time development of the super-lensing effect discovered in 2000 by Pendry is…
A laser is not necessarily a sophisticated device: Pumping energy into an amplifying medium randomly filled with scatterers, a powder for instance, makes a perfect "random laser." In such a laser, the absence of mirrors greatly simplifies…
The spatial extension and complexity of the eigenfunctions of an open finite-size two-dimensional (2D) random system are systematically studied for a random collection of systems ranging from weakly scattering to localized. The…
The absence of self averaging in mesoscopic systems is a consequence of long-range intensity correlation. Microwave measurements suggest and diagrammatic calculations confirm that the correlation function of the normalized intensity with…
The temporal evolution of microwave pulses transmitted through random dielectric samples is obtained from the Fourier transform of field spectra. Large fluctuations are found in the local or single channel delay time, which is the first…
Measurements of the microwave field transmitted through a random medium allows direct access to the field correlation function, whose complex square is the short range or C1 contribution to the intensity correlation function C. The…
We study the interaction of Anderson localized states in an open 1D random system by varying the internal structure of the sample. As the frequencies of two states come close, they are transformed into multiply-peaked quasi-extended modes.…
We consider, both theoretically and experimentally, the excitation and detection of the localized quasi-modes (resonances) in an open dissipative 1D random system. We show that even though the amplitude of transmission drops dramatically so…
