Observation of transverse Anderson localization in an optical fiber

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We utilize transverse Anderson localization as the waveguiding mechanism in optical fibers with random transverse refractive index profiles. Using experiments and numerical simulations, we show that the transverse localization results in an effective propagating beam diameter that is comparable to that of a typical index-guiding optical fiber.
