title: Light localization and nonlinear beam transmission in specular amorphous photonic lattices.
abstract: We demonstrate specular photonic "lattices" with random index variations at disordered positions of lattice sites. These amorphous lattice structures, optically induced in a bulk nonlinear crystal, remain invariant during propagation since they are constructed from random components residing on a fixed ring in momentum space. We observe linear spatial localization of a light beam when probing through different "defect" points in such specular lattices, as well as the nonlinear destruction of localized modes. In addition, we illustrate the possibility of image transmission through the disordered lattices, when a self-defocusing nonlinearity is employed.
