Anderson localization, i.e. the suppression of diffusion in lattices with random or incommensurate disorder, is a fragile interference phenomenon which is spoiled out in the presence of dephasing effects or fluctuating disorder. As a…
Using the correspondence between (saturated) nonlinear and (unsaturated) linear dielectric constants, we propose a simple and systematic method to achieve selective excitation of lasing modes that would have been dwarfed by more dominant…
