Wave Propagation and Localization in Random Structures

随机结构中电磁传播的实验程序。在不久的将来观测光子定位是一个特定的目标。方法包括使用光辐射和微波辐射。强度波动的相互关系将作为两点间分离的函数来测量。实验中使用的物理系统由嵌入透明介质中的金属或高折射率介电球组成。测量将在扩散、临界和局部状态下进行。

Experimental program on electromagnetic propagation in random structures. Observation of photon localization in the near future is a specific goal. Approaches include the use of both light and microwave radiation. The cross-correlation of fluctuations in intensity will be measured as a function of separation between two points. The physical systems which are employed in the experiments consist of metallic or high-index dielectric spheres imbedded in a transparant medium. Measurements will be made in the diffusive, critical, and localized regimes.
