Title Optimizing energy transfer and dwell times in disordered systems: a statistical approach
Abstract When a wave such as light propagates through a disordered system, it is scattered many times in various directions before escaping. At first sight, this process is well described by diffusion. However, diffusion neglects interferences, making us believe that the information content of a wave is progressively lost through spreading. This picture is incorrect. In fact, multiple scattering is a linear process that redistributes information among many degrees of freedom which can nowadays be resolved and manipulated. In this talk, we will give an overview of different strategies to achieve original light transport properties in open disordered systems that deviate both from the diffusive picture and the Gaussian field model. First, we will characterize the statistical properties of the transmission matrix to demonstrate large energy transfer or focusing through nominally opaque media [1, 2]. Then, we will discuss how to achieve similar performance in transmission by means of the reflection matrix only [3, 4]. Finally, we will characterize the distribution of scattering times, in order to generate excitations with particularly short or long dwell times. References: [1] A. Goetschy and A. D.
