“…Excellent analytical work [7] was done following up [5], but that too was limited in frequency range and number of cells, and imposed various approximations. A disordered 1D photonic crystal with sinusoidally varying index of refraction was considered in [17], but the integrated density of states (IDOS) was shown for only one bandgap. A synthetic photonic lattice disordered temporally [18] simulated DOS for 10 5 temporal cells, but was limited to two symmetric bands separated by a gap, and, in addition, the DOS calculation technique was not explained.…”
