Probing Anderson localization of light via decay rate statistics.

چکیده
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 open systems.

Probing localization in absorbing systems via Loschmidt echos.
We measure Anderson localization in quasi-one-dimensional waveguides in the presence of absorption by analyzing the echo dynamics due to small perturbations. We specifically show that the inverse participation number of localized modes dictates the decay of the Loschmidt echo, differing from the Gaussian decay expected for diffusive or chaotic systems. Our theory, based on a random matrix model...
متن کاملThe Influence of Anderson Localization on the Mode Decay of Excited Nonlinear Systems
A one-dimensional system of masses with nearest-neighbor interactions and periodic boundary conditions is used to study mode decay and ergodicity in nonlinear, disordered systems. The system is given an initial periodic displacement, and the total system energy within a specific frequency channel is measured as a function of time. Results indicate that the rate of mode decay at early times incr...
متن کاملA Note on Fractional Moments for the One-dimensional Continuum Anderson Model
We give a proof of dynamical localization in the form of exponential decay of spatial correlations in the time evolution for the one-dimensional continuum Anderson model via the fractional moments method. This follows via exponential decay of fractional moments of the Green function, which is shown to hold at arbitrary energy and for any single-site distribution with bounded, compactly supporte...
متن کاملProbing the statistical properties of Anderson localization with quantum emitters
Wave propagation in disordered media can be strongly modified by multiple scattering and wave interference. Ultimately, the so-called Andersonlocalized regime is reached when the waves become strongly confined in space. So far, Anderson localization of light has been probed in transmission experiments by measuring the intensity of an external light source after propagation through a disordered ...
متن کاملQuantum correlations in two-particle Anderson localization.
We predict quantum correlations between noninteracting particles evolving simultaneously in a disordered medium. While the particle density follows the single-particle dynamics and exhibits Anderson localization, the two-particle correlation develops unique features that depend on the quantum statistics of the particles and their initial separation. On short time scales, the localization of one...
