Transport in three-dimensional aperiodic structures: Experiments and calculations — •Michael Renner1 und Georg von Freymann1,21Department of Physics and Research Center OPTIMAS, University of Kaiserslautern, Erwin-Schrödinger-Str. 56, 67663 Kaiserslautern — 2Fraunhofer-Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques (IPM), Erwin-Schrödinger-Str. 56, 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany

To explore the mechanism of light transport in three-dimensional aperiodic structures we perform finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations closely resembling our experimental geometry [1]. By incoherently adding individual mode profiles after excitation with Cassegrain-type point spread functions and taking into account the given collection optics we are able to reproduce experimental results obtained by an focal plane array (FPA) connected to a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). We confirm the experimentally observed sub-diffusive transport behavior in direct laser written polymer samples with different aperiodic spatial correlations. Structures based on the Rudin-Shapiro sequence show the strongest mode localization, in good agreement with the experiment. Comparisons with two-dimensional representations reveal less pronounced localization highlighting the importance of the aperiodic structuring in three dimensions.
