Abstract

The Scientific Initiation student will investigate the transmission properties for photons through a 2D or 3D atomic sample, using either scalar or vectorial light. The main objective is to observe deviations from the known laws for diffusion in the optically dense regime, for the configurations where the light is expected to localize.
