Abstract

We predict that anomalously long localization lengths which in some special cases diverge can be expected for p-polarized light propagating through one-dimensional disordered structures under certain conditions. We give a physical argument for the existence of such anomalies, and support it by a long-wavelength theory and Monte Carlo calculations.
