Abstract:
We demonstrate that a circular Bessel density function describes the electromagnetic field statistics in the Anderson localization regime using example numerical terahertz field data in strongly scattering media. This density function for localized fields provides a measure that allows identification and description in a manner akin to the Gaussian density function for weakly interacting scatterers, the mathematical framework to date for statistical optics. Our theory provides a framework for improved understanding of wave propagation in random media, random scattering media characterization, and imaging in and through randomly scattering media.

To analyze this, consider two points on the wheel: point A and point B. The absolute velocity of point B can be expressed as the vector sum of the absolute velocity of point A and the relative velocity of point B with respect to point A. To simplify this analysis,...
