Note that these results also confirm and extend for all regimes of scattering the essential role of the natural resonances of the passive system in random lasing, which has been recently debated in and V.

44. This is in contrast with the percolation model of Anderson localization described by D. J. Thouless, Phys. Rep., Phys. Lett. 13, 93 (1974), which is only relevant for electronic waves in a random potential. For classical waves in dielectric random media, the energy of the equivalent quantum particle is always positive and above a disordered potential consisting of negative wells embedded in a zero potential. 10.1016/0370-1573(74)90029-5
