We present the numerical modeling of two different randomization methods photonic lattices. compare results light propagation in disordered aperiodic and periodic In lattice disorder always enhances transport for both methods, contrary to lattice. For highest levels, we detect Anderson localization More pronounced is observed

A mathematical model is presented in the present study to control‎ ‎the light propagation in an inhomogeneous media‎. ‎The method is ‎based on the identification of the optimal materials distribution‎ ‎in the media such that the trajectories of light rays follow the‎ ‎desired path‎. ‎The problem is formulated as a distributed parameter ‎identification problem and it is solved by a numerical met...

In this paper, we study two different Graded Index (GRIN) photonic crystal (PC) structures which are named as structure type I and type II. The PC structures are made of the square rod in an air background. To design a GRIN PC structure the lattice constant has been altered in the direction transverse to propagation. We investigated focusing effect             and waveguiding behavior of electr...

One-dimensional light amplification in individual p-sexiphenyl nanofibers is investigated. The influence of fiber morphology on light propagation properties is studied via optical and atomic force microscopy. Isolated nanofibers are shown to yield low-threshold random laser emission in the deep blue. Model calculations of coherent light propagation in one-dimensional random media qualitatively ...

We review the propagation of light neutrinos in matter assuming that their mixing with heavy neutrinos is close to present experimental limits. The phenomenological implications of the non-unitarity of the light neutrino mixing matrix for neutrino oscillations are discussed. In particular we show that the resonance effect in neutrino propagation in matter persists, but for slightly modified val...

We study propagation and switching of slow-light pulses in nonlinear couplers with phase-shifted Bragg gratings. We demonstrate that power-controlled nonlinear self-action of light can be used to compensate for dispersion-induced broadening of pulses through the formation of gap solitons, to control pulse switching in the coupler, and to tune the propagation velocity.

A time-resolved Monte Carlo technique was used to simulate the propagation of polarized light in turbid media. Calculated quantities include the reflection Mueller matrices, the transmission Mueller matrices, and the degree of polarization (DOP). The effects of the polarization state of the incident light and of the size of scatterers on the propagation of DOP were studied. Results are shown in...

Standard experimental techniques exist to determine the propagation speed of forces. When we apply these techniques to gravity, they all yield propagation speeds too great to measure, substantially faster than light-speed. This is because gravity, in contrast to light, has no detectable aberration or propagation delay for its action, even for cases (such as binary pulsars) where sources of grav...
