Photon delocalization transition in dimensional crossover in layered media
Published 13 Apr 2009 in cond-mat.mes-hall and cond-mat.dis-nn | (0904.1905v1)
Abstract: We report a crossover in optical propagation in random layered media from localization towards diffusion as the interaction of the wave with the sample is transformed from one to three-dimensional due to nonuniformity in the layer thickness. The crossover occurs at the point that the lateral spread of the wave equals the transverse coherence length in the transmitted speckle pattern.
