Transition from diffusive to localized regimes in surface corrugated optical waveguides
Transition from diffusive to localized regimes in surface corrugated optical waveguides
Exact calculations of the transmittance of surface corrugated optical waveguides are presented. The elastic scattering of diffuse light or other electromagnetic waves from a rough surface induces a diffusive transport along the waveguide axis. As the length of the corrugated part of the waveguide increases, a transition from the diffusive …
