Abstract

Hyperuniform disordered materials are a class of photonic solids with a constrained randomness that have short-range order and long-range statistical isotropy. In these materials, calculations suggest a new type of high-Q localization mechanism in optical cavities, that has no analogue in periodic or quasi-periodic photonic crystals.
