Abstract
We calculate the areal density of disorder-induced resonators with a high quality factor, , in a film with fluctuating refraction index. We demonstrate that, for a given , where is the light wave vector and is the transport mean-free path, when on average the light propagation is diffusive, the likelihood for finding a random resonator increases dramatically with increasing the correlation radius of the disorder. Parameters of most probable resonators as functions of and are found.
