Abstract
We calculate the average transmission for s -and p-polarized electromagnetic (ЕМ) waves and consequently the localization length of two dimensional disordered systems which are periodic on the average; the periodic systems form a square lattice consisting of infinitely long cylinders parallel to each other and embedded in a different dielectric medium. In particular, we study the dependence of the localization length on the frequency, the dielectric function ratio between the scatterer and the background, and the filling ratio of the scatterer. We find the optimum conditions for obtaining the localization of ЕМ waves in 2D systems.
