Hanbury Brown And Twiss Anticorrelation In Disordered Photonic Lattices

Abstract

We report measurements of Hanbury Brown and Twiss correlation of coherent light transmitted through disordered one-dimensional photonic lattices. Although such a lattice exhibits transverse Anderson localization when a single input site is excited, uniform excitation precludes its observation. By examining the Hanbury Brown-Twiss correlation for a uniformly excited disordered lattice, we observe intensity anticorrelations associated with photon antibunching - a signature of non-Gaussian statistics. Although the measured average intensity distribution is uniform, transverse Anderson localization nevertheless underlies the observed anticorrelation.
