Abstract: Travelling through the chaos The ease with which waves can travel through a disordered system is theoretically encapsulated in the separation and width of the energy levels — or modes — describing that system. But extracting this information is experimentally challenging because of the spectral overlap of these modes. Jing Wang and Azriel Genack now show how these modal properties can be reconstructed from measurements of the 'speckle' pattern of radiation transmitted through a disordered medium.
