Abstract
A 1D random photonic lattice has been studied both by the plane-wave method and by the transfer matrix approach for arbitrary contrast in its dielectric permittivity. The role and competition of different scattering mechanisms such as Bragg diffraction, one scatterer resonances, and Bragg remnants have been investigated. It is shown that strong localization results not only from Bragg diffraction and disorder in the scatterers distribution, but also Bragg remnants produce localization for a medium with small contrast. Based on the properties of the random lattice in the light frequency band, highly sensitive sensor could be devised.
