Description:
Author(s): P. D. García, G. Kiršanskė, A. Javadi, S. Stobbe, and P. Lodahl The development of nanoscale optical devices requires high-quality nanocavities to mediate the optical feedback. Any fabrication method will generate imperfections that may induce light loss, limiting the device performance. However, in some cases such disorder may enable new functionalities as, for example, in state-of-the art photonic-crystal waveguides where localization originates from the random multiple scattering of light. Understanding the different mechanisms leading to this type of localization is crucial to exploit disorder as a resource as well as to design structures which are more robust against disorder. [Phys.
