Using a diagrammatic self‐consistent approach the problem of Anderson localization is treated for photons with different polarizations in a layered random dielectric. The diffusion coefficient and localization length are calculated for photons. Two types of anomalies are found whose manifestation is a divergency of the localization length. One of the anomalies, which originates in the total transmission of light through scatterers, is peculiar to both (s and p) polarizations. Another anomaly associated with the Brewster effect is a feature of p‐polarized waves only.
