TLDR
In this paper, the effect of transverse localization of light (TL) in the presence of a weak longitudinal modulation of refractive index in disordered waveguide lattices was investigated and it was shown that tunneling inhibition along length favors to achieve the diffraction-free propagation along with the simultaneous presence of Transverse disorder.Abstract:
We report the enhancement of the effect of transverse localization of light (TL) in presence of a weak longitudinal modulation of refractive index in disordered waveguide lattices. In our chosen lattices, tunneling inhibition along length favors to achieve the diffraction-free propagation along with the simultaneous presence of transverse disorder. Results will be useful to tune the threshold value of disorder to achieve localized light.read more

Absence of Diffusion in Certain Random Lattices
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model for spin diffusion or conduction in the "impurity band" is presented, which involves transport in a lattice which is in some sense random, and in them diffusion is expected to take place via quantum jumps between localized sites.

TL;DR: Light propagating in linear and nonlinear waveguide lattices exhibits behaviour characteristic of that encountered in discrete systems, which can be exploited to achieve diffraction-free propagation and minimize the power requirements for nonlinear processes.

Transport and Anderson localization in disordered two-dimensional photonic lattices
TL;DR: The experimental observation of Anderson localization in a perturbed periodic potential is reported: the transverse localization of light caused by random fluctuations on a two-dimensional photonic lattice, demonstrating how ballistic transport becomes diffusive in the presence of disorder, and that crossover to Anderson localization occurs at a higher level of disorder.

TL;DR: An intermediate regime is found in which the ballistic and localized components coexist while diffusive dynamics is absent and evidence is found for a faster transition into localization under nonlinear conditions.
