Abstract :
In this contribution, we present our recent results on experimental realizations of Anderson localization (AL) in an optically induced randomized medium. We suggest an advancement of the method to generate complex photonic systems by optical induction using nondiffracting beams. By designing the ring shaped Fourier spectrum randomly, we achieve wave fields holding a randomized intensity modulation in both transverse directions but staying nondiffracting in the direction of propagation.
