Using a combined decimation-renormalization procedure, we estimate the localization length for a tight-binding Hamiltonian where site energies are square-sinc-correlated random variables. By decreasing the width of the correlation function, the disorder patterns approach a delta-correlated disorder, and the localization length becomes almost energy independent in the strong disorder limit. We show that this regime can be reached for a size of the speckle grains on the order of (lower than) four lattice steps.en10.1103/PhysRevA.84.065602info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDiffusionAbsenceArticle846Q1WOS:0002985644000142-s2.0-84855266329N/A
