The optics of correlated disordered media is a conceptually rich research topic emerging at
the interface between the physics of waves in complex media and nanophotonics. Inspired …

The concept of random lasers exploiting multiple scattering of photons in an amplifying
disordered medium in order to generate coherent light without a traditional laser resonator …

The discovery of the spontaneous mode-locking of lasers,, that is, the self-starting
synchronous oscillation of electromagnetic modes in a cavity, has been a milestone of …

In conventional lasers optical cavities are used to provide feedback to gain media. Mirrorless
lasers can be built by using disordered structures to induce multiple scattering, which …

Based on the developed quantum microscopic theory, the interaction of weak
electromagnetic radiation with dense ultracold atomic clouds is described in detail. The …

We report a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of near-resonance light
scattering from a high-density and ultracold atomic 87 Rb gas. The atomic sample, having a …

We develop a theory for the eigenvalue density of arbitrary non-Hermitian Euclidean
matrices. Closed equations for the resolvent and the eigenvector correlator are derived. The …

We experimentally investigate the Bragg reflection of light at one-dimensionally ordered
atomic structures by using cold atoms trapped in a laser standing wave. By a fine-tuning of …

Coherent effects manifested in light scattering from cold, optically dense and disordered
atomic systems are reviewed from a primarily theoretical point of view. Development of the …

On the basis of general theoretical results developed previously in [JETP 112, 246 (2011)
JTPHES 1063-7761 10.1134/S106377611101016X], we analyze the atomic polarization …
