Brewster Anomalies: A Polarization-Induced Delocalization Effect

John E. Sipe, Ping Sheng, Benjamin S. White, Morrel H. Cohen · Physical Review Letters · 1988

We predict that anomalously long localization lengths---which in some special cases diverge---can be expected for $p$-polarized light propagating through one-dimensional disordered structures under certain conditions. We give a physical argument for the existence of such anomalies, and support it by a long-wavelength theory and Monte Carlo calculations.
