Temporal fluctuations in wave propagation in random media
Abstract
The effect of time-dependent fluctuations of a medium on the spectral intensity and intensity fluctuations of light scattered from the medium is discussed. In the case that the light is multiply scattered from the medium, it is possible in the diffusion approximation to relate the spectral intensity in the scattered wave to the angular-average structure factor of the medium. The relaxation time depends on the number of scattering events, i.e., on the lengths of the multiple-scattering paths, and the scattered intensity thus exhibits a broad range of relaxation times. The spectral intensity in coherent backscattering is also discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
