Temporal dynamics of Levy flights of photons in a hot vapor
Ricardo V. M. de Almeida Filho, Joao C. de Aquino Carvalho, Thierry Passerat de Silans +2
Multiple scattering of light by resonant vapor is characterized by Levy-type superdiffusion with a step size distribution , with . The Levy par…

Experimental investigation of Lévy flights for step-length distributions with a length-dependent local power exponent
Isaac C. Nunes, Jesús P. López, Thierry Passerat de Silans
We experimentally investigate the transmission of light by dense atomic vapor. The light propagating in dense atomic vapor can be modeled as a Lévy flight random walk. For such sy…

Frequency redistribution and step-size distribution of light scattered by atomic vapor: applications to Lévy flight random walk
Isaac C. Nunes, Michelle O. Araújo, Jesús P. Lopez +1
The propagation of light that undergoes multiple-scattering by resonant atomic vapor can be described as a Lévy flight. Lévy flight is a random walk with heavy tailed step-size (…
