Abstract
Disordered semi-continuous metallic films are a particularly striking example of complex photonic systems. They exhibit peculiar optical properties that cannot be explained from the behavior of bulk metals or ensembles of isolated nanoparticles [1]. The interplay between surface-plasmon excitations and scattering by multiscale (fractal) metallic clusters leads to spatial localization of the electromagnetic field in subwavelength areas (hot spots). A feature of these ``hot-spots modes'' is the expected coexistence of both localized and delocalized modes at the same frequency [2,3], a situation referred to as inhomogeneous localization.
