Transport through Amorphous Photonic Materials with Localization and Bandgap Regimes
Transport through Amorphous Photonic Materials with Localization and Bandgap Regimes
We propose a framework that unifies the description of light transport in three-dimensional amorphous dielectric materials that exhibit both localization and a photonic bandgap. To this end, we argue that coherent reflection near and in the bandgap attenuates the generation of diffuse or localized photons. Using the self-consistent theory of …
