Abstract: We study the physics of the channel-hopping mechanism in randomly layered media in the anisotropic regime using a classical rate equation approach. It is found that the role played by evanescent waves is to increase the equilibration length beyond all channel localization lengths. The lateral transport is dictated by a dominant channel and, therefore, shows one-dimension-like behavior.
