Behaviour of light transmission channels in random media with inhomogeneous disorder
Abstract
We present a numerical study on the light transport properties and statistics of transmission channels in random media with inhomogeneous disorder. For the case of longitudinal inhomogeneity of disorder we find that the statistics of the transmission channels is independent of the inhomogeneity and the system can be equivalent to a counterpart with homogeneous disorder strength, both of which have the same statistical distribution of the transmission channels. However, for the case of transverse inhomogeneity of disorder, such equivalence does not exist, moreover, the transmission eigenvalues are pushed to the two ends of the distribution and the distribution of the total transmission is broadened since the spatial structure gives rise to larger and smaller transmitted incident channels.
