Anderson Localization in a String of Microwave Cavities
arXiv:chao-dyn/9907022 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.60.3942
Abstract
The field distributions and eigenfrequencies of a microwave resonator which is composed of 20 identical cells have been measured. With external screws the periodicity of the cavity can be perturbed arbitrarily. If the perturbation is increased a transition from extended to localized field distributions is observed. For very large perturbations the field distributions show signatures of Anderson localization, while for smaller perturbations the field distribution is extended or weakly localized. The localization length of a strongly localized field distribution can be varied by adjusting the penetration depth of the screws. Shifts in the frequency spectrum of the resonator provide further evidence for Anderson localization.
