Multiple foci in the range dependence of the intensity fluctuations of a plane wave propagating in a random medium.
The differential equation for the fourth-order statistical moment of the field of a plane wave propagating in a two dimensional random medium is solved numerically. Results are presented for the scintillation index when the index-of-refraction correlation function of the medium is Gaussian and gamma (ratio of diffraction length to scattering length) is 50. It is pointed out that the solution ha...
متن کاملTwo-scale solution for the intensity fluctuations of two-frequency wave propagation in a random medium
We have solved the equation for the two-frequency fourth-order moment of two parallel monochromatic plane waves having different frequencies and propagating through a randomly inhomogeneous medium. The solution procedure uses a two-scale expansion based on the smallness of a new parameter whose magnitude does not depend on the scattering strength. The results are shown to be valid for all value...
متن کاملIntrinsic intensity fluctuations in random lasers
In 1968 Letokhov wrote his pioneering paper 1 in which he predicted that light amplification through stimulated emission is possible in a random medium with gain. A preeminent experimental demonstration of such a random laser was published by Lawandy et al. in 1994 2 . Typical phenomena of the random laser are a low threshold in the power conversion, spectral narrowing, and sharp features “spik...
متن کاملSingular polarimetry: evolution of polarization singularities in electromagnetic waves propagating in a weakly anisotropic medium.
We describe the evolution of a paraxial electromagnetic wave characterizing by a non-uniform polarization distribution with singularities and propagating in a weakly anisotropic medium. Our approach is based on the Stokes vector evolution equation applied to a non-uniform initial polarization field. In the case of a homogeneous medium, this equation is integrated analytically. This yields a 3-d...
متن کاملStochastic differential equation approach for waves in a random medium.
We present a mathematical approach that simplifies the theoretical treatment of electromagnetic localization in random media and leads to closed-form analytical solutions. Starting with the assumption that the dielectric permittivity of the medium has delta-correlated spatial fluctuations, and using Ito's lemma, we derive a linear stochastic differential equation for a one-dimensional random me...
