Lévy flight of superdiffusive light in coupled waveguide lattices

Exotic light behavior in certain disordered one-dimensional optical waveguide lattices with selectively doped gain/loss operating away from the PT symmetry regime is reported. Here, we establish that such open systems host a unique Lévy flight even in the absence of scatterers following Lévy distrib...
