Overview

A collection of lectures on a variety of modern subjects in wave scattering, including fundamental issues in mesoscopic physics and radiative transfer, as well as hot topics such as random lasers, liquid crystals, lefthanded materials and time-reversal and modern applications in imaging and communication. There is a strong emphasis on the interdisciplinary aspects of wave propagation, including light and microwaves, acoustic and elastic waves, propagating in a variety of ""complex"" materials (liquid crystals, media with gain, natural media, magneto-optical media, photonic and phononic materials and so forth). It addresses many different items in contemporary research: mesoscopic fluctuations, localization, radiative transfer, symmetry aspects, and time-reversal. It also discusses new (potential) applications in telecommunication, soft matter and imaging.
