Abstract

A simple yet realistic theoretical model is used to study Anderson localization of electromagnetic waves in three-dimensional disordered dielectric media. The preliminary results presented in our previous paper [M. Rusek, A. Or\l{}owski, and J. Mostowski, Phys. Rev. E 53, 4122 (1996)] are substantially extended and a sound physical interpretation is proposed. Very striking universal properties of the spectra of random matrices describing the scattering from a collection of randomly distributed pointlike scatterers are discovered. The appearance of the band of localized electromagnetic waves, emerging in the limit of an infinite system, is numerically observed.
