Light localization signatures in backscattering from periodic disordered media
arXiv:0710.2729 · doi:10.1134/S0021364007210035
Abstract
The backscattering line shape is analytically predicted for thick disordered medium films where, remarkably, the medium configuration is periodic along the direction perpendicular to the incident light. A blunt triangular peak is found to emerge on the sharp top. The phenomenon roots in the coexistence of quasi-1D localization and 2D extended states.
