We study the electromagnetic wave propagating in coupled monolayer graphene waveguide arrays (CMGWAs). It is found that Anderson localization exists when the disorder in the coupling strength between adjacent waveguides is introduced. We find that changing the statistical parameters of the disorder coupling strength between waveguides can be used to tailor the properties of the Anderson localization modes in the strong coupling region which is beyond the coupled-mode theory. Benefiting from the electric tunable surface conductivity, we further demonstrate via the full vectorial simulation that the localization strength of the Anderson localized mode can be manipulated by changing the applied gate voltage on the CMGWAs. Our results might facilitate the manipulation of electromagnetic wave propagation in the coupled waveguide array system.
