We study the statistical properties of wave transport in a disordered waveguide. We first derive the properties of a “building block” (BB) of length δL starting from a potential model consisting of thin potential slices. We then find a diffusion equation—in the space of transfer matrices...

Intensity correlations between waves reflected and transmitted through random media are analyzed within the framework of the random matrix theory of transport. We introduce a new kind of correlations between transmitted and reflected intensities. For transmitted waves, the spatial correlation...
