Probing Anderson localization of light via decay rate statistics.
We have studied the distribution of resonance widths P(Gamma) in one-, two-, and three-dimensional multiple light scattering systems. P(Gamma) should follow a universal power law P(Gamma) approximately Gamma(-1) in the localized regime as confirmed by extensive numerical calculations. This behavior can be interpreted as an unambiguous signature of exponential Anderson localization of light in o...
متن کاملProbing Anderson localization of light by weak non-linear effects
Breakdown of wave transport due to strong disorder is a universal phenomenon known as Anderson localization (AL). It occurs because of the macroscopic population of reciprocal multiple scattering paths, which in three dimensional systems happens at a critical scattering strength. Intensities on these random loops should thus be highly increased relative to those of a diffusive sample. In order ...

NATURE PHOTONICS | VOL 7 | MARCH 2013 | www.nature.com/naturephotonics 197 The scattering of waves due to disorder is ubiquitous throughout nature. Examples range from the scattering of light as it passes through clouds or sugar to the scattering of sound waves in the presence of fluctuations. These phenomena have intrigued scientists for centuries. However, a major breakthrough in the understa...
متن کاملLight Avoids Anderson Localization
The confinement of waves in a disordered medium—Anderson localization [1]—has been observed for electromagnetic [2, 3] and acoustic [4] waves in disordered dielectric structures, and for electron waves in condensed matter. Anderson localization arises as a result of the constructive interference between waves that follow time reversed paths as they loop back to a point as a result of scattering...
