Abstract
The possibility of Anderson localization of light in random dielectric systems has been discussed over the last three decades [1]. However, theoretical and experimental studies for the light localization in random media are much more difficult than those in photonic crystals. Therefore, observation of the light localization has been realized only recently [2]. As a result, it is fair to say the wave localization phenomenon is not well understood.
