Sources and gain in photonic random media
| Abstract | This thesis deals with the interaction between sources ofelectromagnetic radiation and disordered photonic media. Three conceptsarising from this interaction form its main thread. In the firstconcept, the combination of multiple scattering media with amplificationof light by stimulated emission leads to random lasing. In the secondconcept, the excitation of a localizing random medium by a sourceenables the excitation of multiple eigenstates simultaneously. In thethird concept, fluctuations in the local density of states influence theoutput of an embedded light source. |
