Anderson localization in metamaterials and other complex media (Review Article)
This is a review of some recent (mostly ours) results on Anderson localization of light and electron waves in complex disordered systems, including: (i) left-handed metamaterials, (ii) magnetoactive optical structures, (iii) graphene superlattices, and (iv) nonlinear dielectric media. First, we demonstrate that left-handed metamaterials can significantly suppress localization of light and lead ...
متن کاملGap solitons in metamaterials
Electromagnetic localization and existence of gap solitons in nonlinear metamaterials, which exhibit a stop band in their linear spectral response, is theoretically investigated. For a self-focusing Kerr nonlinearity, the equation for the electric field envelope with carrier frequency in the stop band where the magnetic permeability μ(ω) is positive and the dielectric permittivity ǫ(ω) is negat...
متن کاملSuppression of Anderson localization in disordered metamaterials.
We study wave propagation in mixed, 1D disordered stacks of alternating right- and left-handed layers and reveal that the introduction of metamaterials substantially suppresses Anderson localization. At long wavelengths, the localization length in mixed stacks is orders of magnitude larger than for normal structures, proportional to the sixth power of the wavelength, in contrast to the usual qu...
متن کاملGiant Goos-Häenchen Shift of a Gaussian Beam Reflected from One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals Containing Left-Handed Lossy Metamaterials
We perform a theoretical investigation on the Goos-Häenchen shift (the lateral shift) in one-dimensional photonic crystals (1DPCs) containing left-handed (LH) metamaterials. The effect was studied by use of a Gaussian beam. We show that the giant lateral displacement is due to the localization of the electromagnetic wave which can be both positive and negative depending on the incidence angle o...
متن کاملDensity of states controls Anderson localization in disordered photonic crystal waveguides
We prove Anderson localization in a disordered photonic crystal waveguide by measuring the ensembleaveraged extinction mean-free path, e, which is controlled by the dispersion in the photon density of states DOS of the photonic crystal waveguide. Except for the very low DOS case, where out-of-plane losses are non-negligible, e can be approximated to be the localization length . The extinction m...
