Figure 4

Loss of ballistic light transport in quasi guided modes with increasing disorder.

(a–d) Angle- and frequency resolved transmission patterns of ML, MB1, MB2 and MB3 monolayers. The lines in panel (a) show the calculated dispersion of diffraction orders caused by quasi-guided modes, which are labelled by the respective vectors of the reciprocal lattice and the index referring to the number of the group. Only selected modes are plotted. The stitching of patterns at 980 nm is due to the change of the spectrometer. The transmission magnitudes of two parts are not aligned in order to increase the visibility of spectral details. The logarithmic grey scale is quoted for the long wavelength parts. With increasing disorder, the signatures of collective, diffraction resonances are increasingly suppressed.
