In two-dimensional random waves, phase singularities are point-like dislocations with a behavior reminiscent of interacting particles. This -- qualitative -- consideration, stems from the spatial arrangement of these entities, which finds…

Random optical fields with two widely different correlation lengths generate far field speckle spots that are themselves highly speckled. We call such patterns speckled speckle, and study their critical points (singularities and stationary…
Exceptional points (EPs) associated with a square-root singularity have been found in many non-Hermitian systems. In most of the studies, the EPs found are isotropic meaning that the same singular behavior is obtained independent of the…
