Abstract:
Disclosed are systems and methods for manufacturing energy relays for energy directing systems and Transverse Anderson Localization. Systems and methods include providing first and second component engineered structures with first and second sets of engineered properties and forming a medium using the first component engineered structure and the second component engineered structure. The forming step includes randomizing a first engineered property in a first orientation of the medium resulting in a first variability of that engineered property in that plane, and the values of the second engineered property allowing for a variation of the first engineered property in a second orientation of the medium, where the variation of the first engineered property in the second orientation is less than the variation of the first engineered property in the first orientation.

Claim (Index 12):
A method comprising:\n (a) providing one or more of a first component engineered structure, the first component engineered structure having a first refractive index n 0 , engineered property p 0 , and first absorptive optical quality b 0 ; (b) providing one or more N component engineered structure, each N i  structure with refractive index n i , engineered property p i , and absorptive optical quality b i , wherein N is 1 or greater; (c) forming a medium using the one or more of the first component engineered structure, and the one or more of the N i  structure, the forming step randomizes the first refractive index n 0  and the refractive index n i  along a first plane of the medium resulting in a first refractive index variability, with engineered properties p 0  and p i  inducing a second refractive index variability along a second plane of the medium, wherein the second plane is different from the first plane, and wherein the second refractive index variability is lower than the first refractive index variability due to the combined geometry between the first engineered property p 0  and the engineered property p i ; and (d) forming an assembly using the medium such that the first plane of the medium is the transverse orientation of the assembly and the second plane of the medium is the longitudinal orientation of the assembly, wherein energy waves propagating from an entrance to an exit of the assembly have higher transport efficiency in the longitudinal orientation versus the transverse orientation and are spatially localization in the transverse orientation due to the engineered properties and the resultant refractive index variability, and wherein the absorptive optical quality of the medium facilitates the reduction of unwanted diffusion or scatter of energy waves through the assembly.
