Conclusion
Therefore, it has convincingly been demonstrated in this paper that the so-called RWF mirror that reverses the radiation wave front even when using a finite aperture will assure elimination of field fluctuations during propagation in media with large-scale scatterers. Both reproduction of the mean intensity distribution and suppression of the intensity fluctuations are assured here in two-pass schemes.
