Abstract
We studied enhanced backscattering of light from anodically and photoanodic ally etched, macroporous GaP networks. The most strongly scattering materia l for visible light reported to date, photoanodically etched GaP, features anomalous rounding of the top of the backscatter cone. The phenomenon canno t be attributed to finite sample size or absorption and is most likely the onset of Anderson localization.
