“…The Anderson localization has been experimentally demonstrated in many scenarios such as Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of atoms [2,3], in 2D [4] and 1D [5] disordered photonic lattices. From the theoretical viewpoint, the Anderson localization has been studied in synthetic photonic lattice with random coupling [6], in biological nanostructures of native silk [7], on the surface plasmon polariton [8], and in Bose-Einstein condensate with a weakly positive nonlinearity under the influence of chaotic potentials [9,10].…”

We propose an experimental setup for studying the Anderson localization of light in the continuous transverse spatial degrees of freedom of the photons. This physical phenomenon can be observed in the transverse profile of a paraxial and quasi-monochromatic beam of light using a spatial light modulator. The light modulator acts in the laser beam as a weak random potential. Here, differently from the standard models studied in the literature, our setup splits the dispersion and potential terms along the beam evolution. By numerical simulations we confirm the feasibility of our experimental proposal.
