In-plane directionality control of strongly localized resonant modes of light in disordered arrays of dielectric scatterers

In this work we propose and analyze techniques of in-plane directionality control of strongly localized resonant modes of light in random arrays of dielectric scatterers. Based on reported diameters and areal densities of epitaxially grown self-organized nanowires, two-dimensional (2D) arrays of dielectric scatterers have been analyzed where randomness is gradually increased along a preferred direction of directionality enhancement. In view of...
