Observation of Migrating Transverse Anderson Localizations of Light in Nonlocal Media

We report the experimental observation of the interaction and attraction of many localized modes in a two-dimensional system realized by a disordered optical fiber supporting transverse Anderson localization. We show that a nonlocal optically nonlinear response of thermal origin alters the localizat...
