Wave localization at the boundary of disordered photonic lattices
arXiv:1003.1032 · doi:10.1364/OL.35.001172
Abstract
We report on the experimental observation of reduced light energy transport and disorder-induced localization close to a boundary of a truncated one-dimensional (1D) disordered photonic lattice. Our observations uncover that near the boundary a higher level of disorder is required to obtain similar localization than in the bulk.
