Light propagation in disordered aperiodic Mathieu photonic lattices

We present the numerical modeling of two different randomization methods of photonic lattices. We compare the results of light propagation in disordered aperiodic and disordered periodic lattices.

Description
Summary:We present the numerical modeling of two different randomization methods of photonic lattices. We compare the results of light propagation in disordered aperiodic and disordered periodic lattices. In disordered aperiodic lattice disorder always enhances light transport for both methods, contrary to the disordered periodic lattice. For the highest disorder levels, we detect Anderson localization for both methods and both disordered lattices. More pronounced localization is observed for disordered aperiodic lattice.
