Abstract

We have studied the distribution of resonant widths P (Γ) in one-, two- and three dimensional multiple light scattering systems. P (Γ) should follow a universal power law P (Γ) Γ-1 in the localized regime as confirmed by extensive numerical calculations. This behavior can be interpreted as an unambiguous signature of exponential Anderson localization of light in open systems.
