Abstract :
In our work, the theoretical predictions of the localization-delocalization transition as well as superdiffusive transport are demonstrated experimentally in arrays of evanescently coupled waveguides. The light dynamic along the z-direction in our arrays is described by the discrete Schrodinger equation.
