  • Abstract
    The optical properties of materials are strongly influenced by disorder. Control of disorder in photonic materials can unveil interesting optical properties. We have found an engineered photonic structure for which the average light reflection shows a linear behavior with a slope change in a broad range of wavelengths. Such change in slope is due to a specific degree of disorder, which is quantified by the Shannon index.
