Analytical description of the transverse Anderson localization of light [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
We develop an analytical theory for describing the transverse localization properties of light beams in optical fibers with lateral disorder. This theory, which starts from the widely used paraxial approximation for the Helmholtz equation of the electric field, is a combination of an effective-medium theory for transverse disorder with the self-consistent localization theory of Vollhardt and Wölfle. We obtain explicit expressions for the dependence of the transverse localization length on the direction along the fiber. These results are in agreement with simulational data published recently by Karbasi et al. In particular we explain the focussing mechanism leading to the establishment of narrow transparent channels along the sample. © 2017 IOP Publishing Ltd.
