Abstract

The propagation of classical waves from disordered media has been a subject of intense study in recent years.1–3 This has been due to the discovery of coherent effects associated with multiple scattering, like the phenomenon of enhanced backscattering, related with the weak localization of waves, and found both in dense media4–9 and rough surfaces;10–13 and also with the prediction and observation of intensity correlations in light and other classical waves both reflected and transmitted in dense media.14–24
