Non-perturbative calculation of the probability distribution of plane-wave transmission through a disordered waveguide
arXiv:cond-mat/9509042 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.53.R1344
Abstract
A non-perturbative random-matrix theory is applied to the transmission of a monochromatic scalar wave through a disordered waveguide. The probability distributions of the transmittances T_{mn} and T_n=\sum_m T_{mn} of an incident mode n are calculated in the thick-waveguide limit, for broken time-reversal symmetry. A crossover occurs from Rayleigh or Gaussian statistics in the diffusive regime to lognormal statistics in the localized regime. A qualitatively different crossover occurs if the disordered region is replaced by a chaotic cavity. ***Submitted to Physical Review E.***
