Effect of lattice boundary on Anderson localization of nonclassical light in optical waveguide arrays

Abstract

We study the effect that the boundary of a one-dimensional lattice has on the Anderson localization of nonclassical light in a finite optical waveguide array in which neighboring waveguides are evanescently coupled and controlled disorder is introduced. By investigating the quantum properties of the output when nonclassical light is injected into the waveguide, we show enhancements of localization and quantum features due to the boundary.
