Boundary-induced Anderson localization in photonic lattices
arXiv:1011.5532 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2011.03.055
Abstract
We analyze numerically localization of light in linear square waveguide arrays restricted in one dimension (``ribbons''), whose boundaries are disordered in propagation constant and/or coupling. We find that the disordered boundary induces a localization tendency in the bulk even for relatively wide ribbons.
