Propagation inhibition and localization of electromagnetic waves in two-dimensional random dielectric systems
Propagation inhibition and localization of electromagnetic waves in two-dimensional random dielectric systems
We rigorously calculate the propagation and scattering of electromagnetic waves by rectangular and random arrays of dielectric cylinders in a uniform medium. For regular arrays, the band structures are computed and complete bandgaps are discovered. For random arrays, the phenomenon of wave transmission and scattering is investigated and compared in …
