| contents | In the framework of non-Hermitian photonics, we investigate the interplay between disorder and non-Hermiticity in a one-dimensional Hatano-Nelson lattice. While Anderson localization dictates the wave's evolution in conservative random systems, the introduction of non-Hermiticity tends to force the beam to unidirectionally propagate towards one edge of the potential due to the existence of skin modes. As we show, the antagonism between these effects results in qualitatively distinct phases of wave diffraction, including counter-intuitive characteristics regarding the relationship between the strength of disorder and the wavepacket's velocity. |
