Topological invariance in whiteness optimisation

Johannes S. Haataja, Gianni Jacucci, Lukas Schertel +1

Increasing the light scattering efficiency of nanostructured materials is becoming an active field of research both in fundamental science and commercial applications. In this cont…

Colors from correlated disordered photonic systems -- can we outperform nature?

Gianni Jacucci, Silvia Vignolini, Lukas Schertel

Living organisms have developed a wide range of appearances from iridescent to matt textures. Interestingly, angular independent structural colors, where isotropy in the scattering…

Magnetic field effects on one-dimensional Anderson localization of light

Lukas Schertel, Oliver Irtenkauf, Christof M. Aegerter +2

Transport of coherent waves in multiple-scattering media may exhibit fundamental, non intuitive phenomena such as halt of diffusion by disorder called Anderson localization. For el…

Tunable high-index photonic glasses

Lukas Schertel, Ilona Wimmer, Patricia Besirske +4

Materials with extreme photonic properties such as maximum diffuse reflectance, high albedo, or tunable band gaps are essential in many current and future photonic devices and coat…

Resonant transport and near-field effects in photonic glasses

Geoffroy J. Aubry, Lukas Schertel, Mengdi Chen +5

A fundamental quantity in multiple scattering is the transport mean free path the inverse of which describes the scattering strength of a sample. In this paper, we emphasize the im…

Can 3D light localization be reached in "white paint"?

Tilo Sperling, Lukas Schertel, Mirco Ackermann +3

When waves scatter multiple times in 3D random media, a disorder driven phase transition from diffusion to localization may occur [Anderson 1958 Phys. Rev. 109 1492-505; Abrahams e…
