Anderson Localization in Bi-layer Array with Compositional Disorder: Conventional Photonic Crystals versus Metamaterials

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

The localization length has been derived for one-dimensional bi-layered structures with random perturbations in the refractive indices for each type of layers. Main attention is paid to the comparison between conventional materials and those consisting of mixed right-hand and left-hand materials. It is shown that the localization length is described by the universal expression for both cases. The analytical results are confirmed by numerical simulations.
