The research described in this proposal is concerned with the                   localization of classical waves (mostly light) in random media.                 The observation of the light scattering from a random medium                    provides a convenient tool for investigating localization                       effects.  The vector nature of light waves have an important                    effect on localization and lead to interesting observable                       effects.  The effects of absorption, lower dimensionality,                      geometric effects and the analog of spin orbit scattering on                    coherent backscattering are being investigated.  The existence of               a mobility edge in the light problem is of interest.  The                       intensity fluctuations and its correlation functions are under                  investigation and give interesting information about the                        scattering and interference of waves in random media.  Another                  system being investigated is that of semiclassical (non-                        degenerate) electrons at low temperatures in two dimensions.  The               conductance and magnetoconductance of this system also shows                    interesting localization effects.
