Disorder is everywhere, inherently present in nature, and is
commonly believed to be a synonymous with disturbance. As a
consequence, the methodical and customary study of the dynamics of
the electromagnetic field, both in the linear and nonlinear optical
regimes, leans to rule out it from the treatment. On the other
hand, nonlinearity enriches the physical disciplines and brings
them closer to reality with respect to the linear approximation.
Nonlinearity allows to stimulate a wide and rich ensemble of
optical responses that beautifies the role of matter in the active
processes with electromagnetic fields. Independently of each other,
both of these mechanisms foster localization of light. What happens
when light enlightens their synergistic interaction? When pushed
together, light, disorder and nonlinearity make new and intriguing
phenomena emerge. This text provides a comprehensive investigation
of the role of disorder in the nonlinear optical propagation both
in transparent media and lasers. Eventually, disorder promotes and
enhances complex nonlinear dynamics opening new perspectives in
applied research driven by the processes of localization of the
electromagnetic field. The first experimental study of laser
emission in granular media unveils how randomness magnifies and
largely affect laser-matter interactions. Viola Folli in her
research work touches and deepens the leading milestones of the new
science named Complex Photonics.
