  • Finite size scaling of the density of states in photonic band gap crystals 
    Hasan, Shakeeb Bin; Yeganegi, Elahe; Mosk, Allard P.; Lagendijk, Ad; Vos, Willem L. (OSA - The Optical Society, 2017-06)
    Photonic crystals are tailored periodic dielectric media that allow for an unprecedented control in the manipulation of light-matter interactions. One of their outstanding features is the realization of a complete photonic ...
  • Looking inside a 3D scattering medium to observe the 3D spatially-resolved optical energy density that is enhanced by wavefront shaping 
    Hong, Peilong; Ojambati, Oluwafemi S.; Lagendijk, Ad; Mosk, Allard P.; Vos, Willem L. (OSA - The Optical Society, 2017)
    It is well known that a thick scattering medium (e.g. a slab of paint) is opaque since incident waves are thoroughly scrambled [1, 2]. In the diffusive transport regime, the scattered light has an (ensemble-averaged) energy ...
