Light propagating in an optically thick sample experiences multiple scattering. It is now known that interferences alter this propagation, leading to an enhanced backscattering, a manifestation of weak localization of light in such diffuse…

Optical imaging relies on the ability to illuminate an object, collect and analyze the light it scatters or transmits. Propagation through complex media such as biological tissues was so far believed to degrade the attainable depth as well…
Multi-plane light conversion allows to perform arbitrary transformations on a finite set of spatial modes with no theoretical restriction to the quality of the transformation. Even though the number of shaped modes is in general small, the…

Disordered nanostructures are commonly encountered in many nanophotonic systems, from colloid dispersions for sensing, to heterostructured photocatalysts. Randomness, however, imposes severe challenges for nanophotonics modeling, often…
