Effect of amplification on conductance distribution of a disordered waveguide
Abstract
Introduction of optical gain to a disordered system results in enhanced fluctuations [$F_{(2)}=var(\tilde{g})/< \tilde{g} >^2$] of dimensionless conductance $\tilde{g}$, similar to the effect of Anderson localization in passive medium. Using numerical simulations we demonstrate that despite of such qualitative similarity, the whole distribution of conductance of amplifying random media is drastically different from that of passive system with the same value of $F_{(2)}$.
