Absence of Anderson Localization of Light in a Random Ensemble of Point Scatterers
Absence of Anderson Localization of Light in a Random Ensemble of Point Scatterers
As discovered by Philip Anderson in 1958, strong disorder can block propagation of waves and lead to the localization of wavelike excitations in space. Anderson localization of light is particularly exciting in view of its possible applications for random lasing or quantum information processing. We show that, surprisingly, Anderson localization …
