However, significantly less attention has been given to wave localization in media with inhomogeneous disorder, where the standard picture of Anderson localization does not apply, as we demonstrate here. We fabricate photonic lattices with inhomogeneous disorder, modeled by heavy-tailed -stable distributions, and measure the output light intensity profiles. We demonstrate that the spatial localization of light is described by a stretched exponential function, with a stretching parameter , and an asymmetric localized profile with respect to the excitation site. We support our experimental and theoretical findings with extensive tight-binding simulations. 000170201 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN AEI/PID2022-136374NB-C22 000170201 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000170201 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000170201 700__ $$aGorin, Thomas 000170201 700__ $$aVicencio, Rodrigo A. 000170201 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-8726-7212$$aGopar, Víctor A.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000170201 7102_ $$12004$$2405$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
