Reflection and transmission of waves near the localization threshold

A theory is presented for propagation of waves in bounded media near the mobility edge, based on the self-consistent theory for localization. It predicts a spatially inhomogeneous diffusion constant that leads to scale dependence in enhanced backscattering and transmission.

Midinfrared scattering and absorption in Ge powder close to the anderson localization transition

Using a free electron laser we have performed midinfrared transmission and reflection measurements in strongly scattering Ge powder. We have studied the wavelength dependence of the scattering properties and the optical absorption. Results indicate that our samples are close (kl(s) approximately 3) to the Anderson localization transition but still above it. This is in contrast to the recently reported strong localization of light (kl(s)<1) in a similar powder of lower refractive index particles (GaAs).

Strongly photonic macroporous gallium phosphide networks

A photo-assisted electrochemical etching technique to fabricate macropores in single-crystalline gallium phosphide (GaP) with variable porosity has been developed. Scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction experiments confirm that the material consists of three-dimensional, interconnected random networks with pore sizes of about 150 nanometers. Optical transmission measurements demonstrate that the nonabsorbing disordered structures strongly scatter light. The photonic strength is controlled by filling the pores with liquids of different refractive indices. Macroporous gallium phosphide filled with air has the highest scattering efficiency for visible light.
