Light propagation in a random three-dimensional ensemble of point scatterers in a waveguide: size-dependent switching between diffuse radiation transfer and Anderson localization of light

A. S. Kuraptsev, I. M. Sokolov

Light transport in a disordered ensemble of resonant atoms placed in a waveguide is found to be very sensitive to the sizes of cross section of a waveguide. Based on self-consisten…
