Abstract

Using a time-independent calculation based on self-consistent transfer matrix method, we numerically investigate localized mode in a one-dimensional (1D) weakly disordered medium containing Lorentz dispersive material. The result show that the random medium containing dispersive media has frequency-dependent localized modes. Such localized modes strongly depend on dispersive parameters, such as transverse optical phonon frequency ω₀, oscillator strength Χ₀ and thickness of dispersive layer. The resonant frequency of such mode can be modified to shift by applying a dispersive medium. By this study, we will acquire some knowledge of localized mode in dispersive disorder medium; furthermore, this study suggests a method to realize tenability of localized mode, which is important for application of random laser.
