Statistics and control of waves in disordered media
arXiv:1505.00464 · doi:10.1364/OE.23.012293
Abstract
Fundamental concepts in the quasi-one-dimensional geometry of disordered wires and random waveguides in which ideas of scaling and the transmission matrix were first introduced are reviewed. We discuss the use of the transmission matrix to describe the scaling, fluctuations, delay time, density of states, and control of waves propagating through and within disordered systems. Microwave measurements, random matrix theory calculations, and computer simulations are employed to study the statistics of transmission and focusing in single samples and the scaling of the probability distribution of transmission and transmittance in random ensembles. Finally, we explore the disposition of the energy density of transmission eigenchannels inside random media.
