Abstract

This review covers most of new physical aspects opened by the recent interest in the optical properties of heterogeneous media close to the percolation transition: relevant parameters and lengths, caracteristic optical behaviour (transmittance, reflectance and absorptance), theoretical models, dimensionali ty effects, discrimination between optical, electrical and morphological percolation transitions. Morphological aspects are emphasized as the key of optical properties at percolation.
