Intensity distribution for waves in disordered media: Deviations from Rayleigh statistics
Intensity distribution for waves in disordered media: Deviations from Rayleigh statistics
We study the intensity distribution function, P(I), for monochromatic waves propagating in quasi one-dimensional disordered medium, assuming that a point source and a point detector are embedded in the bulk of the medium. We find deviations from the Rayleigh statistics at moderately large I and a logarithmically-normal asymptotic behavior of …
