Editors Summary: Amorphous photonic structures offer a unique platform for studying unique optical transport phenomena in random media. The authors examine both experimentally and theoretically TE (in-plane) polarized near-infrared light in amorphous structures, demonstrating isotropic and asymmetric bandgaps, Anderson-like localized states at the midgap, and readily available practical waveguide structures.
