摘要
In this paper, we analyse a one-dimensional disordered waveguide array in which the refractive indices of the waveguides are selected to be random numbers drawn from a Levy-type distribution characterized by the exponent . We study the effect of changing the exponent on the transverse localization effect. It is shown that the quality of transverse localization is improved by decreasing the exponent . Furthermore, we study this effect for several refractive index ranges. The design of disordered waveguide arrays in this way permits control of the degree of transverse localization.
