While the light transmission of photonic crystals is characterized by the photonic band gap, the one of disordered photonic structures is typified by a multiplicity of transmission depths. The total transmission over a range of wavelengths…

Disorder is more the rule than the exception in natural and synthetic materials. Nonetheless, wave propagation within inhomogeneously disordered materials has received scant attention. We combine microwave experiments and theory to find the…
In this work we show analytically and numerically that wave transport through random waveguides can be modeled as a diffusion with an inhomogeneous diffusion coefficient (IDC). In localized regime, IDC retains the memory of the source…
The eigenvalues of the transmission matrix provide the basis for a full description of the statistics of steady-state transmission and conductance. At the same time, the ability to excite the sample with the waveform of specific…

Transmission eigenchannels are building blocks of coherent wave transport in diffusive media, and selective excitation of individual eigenchannels can lead to diverse transport behavior. An essential yet poorly understood property is the…
Transport processes underpin a multitude of phenomena, ranging from the propagation of atoms on lattices, to the mobility patterns of microorganisms and earthquakes, to name a few. The dynamics of these processes is very rich and key to…
