Abstract:
We study the gradual transition from one-dimensional (1D) to two-dimensional (2D) Anderson localization upon transformation of the dimensionality of disordered waveguide arrays. An effective transition from a 1D to a 2D system is achieved by increasing the number of rows forming the arrays. We observe that, for a given disorder level, Anderson localization becomes weaker with increasing numbers of rows-hence the effective dimension.
