Abstract

In this paper we develop a generalized mode-expansion scheme for the vector lightwaves propagating in 3D disordered media, and find the photonic phase transition from an extended-state (ES) phase to a mixed-state (MS) phase as a localization intensity parameter G rises above 1/√(2). For the disordered media consisting of plenty of uniform spherical scattering particles, we formulate this phenomena at first in terms of actual optical and geometric parameters of the disordered media.
