Density 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...
متن کاملLight localization and nonlinear beam transmission in specular amorphous photonic lattices.
We demonstrate specular photonic "lattices" with random index variations at disordered positions of lattice sites. These amorphous lattice structures, optically induced in a bulk nonlinear crystal, remain invariant during propagation since they are constructed from random components residing on a fixed ring in momentum space. We observe linear spatial localization of a light beam when probing t...
متن کاملTransverse Anderson localization of light near Dirac points of photonic nanostructures
We perform a comparative study of the Anderson localization of light beams in disordered layered photonic nanostructures that, in the limit of periodic layer distribution, possess either a Dirac point or a Bragg gap in the spectrum of the wavevectors. In particular, we demonstrate that the localization length of the Anderson modes increases when the width of the Bragg gap decreases, such that i...
متن کاملProbing the statistical properties of Anderson localization with quantum emitters
Wave propagation in disordered media can be strongly modified by multiple scattering and wave interference. Ultimately, the so-called Andersonlocalized regime is reached when the waves become strongly confined in space. So far, Anderson localization of light has been probed in transmission experiments by measuring the intensity of an external light source after propagation through a disordered ...
متن کاملAnderson localization and Brewster anomalies in photonic disordered quasiperiodic lattices.
A comprehensive study of the properties of light propagation through one-dimensional photonic disordered quasiperiodic superlattices, composed of alternating layers with random thicknesses of air and a dispersive metamaterial, is theoretically performed. The superlattices consist of the successive stacking of N quasiperiodic Fibonacci or Thue-Morse heterostructures. The width of the slabs in th...
