M. Tomita et K. Shimano, Temporal and spectral correlations in fluctuations of light transmitted through static disordered media, J PHYS JPN, 67(11), 1998, pp. 3761-3768
We investigate the fluctuations of light transmitted through static disorde
red media in time and frequency domains. When the pulse duration of the inc
ident light is much shorter than the typical time of flight through the med
ium, fluctuations appear both in time and frequency domains and the uncerta
inty relation, delta tau delta omega similar to 1 or delta tau delta E simi
lar to (h) over bar, holds good in these fluctuations. We discuss the neces
sary condition to observe this relation, Precise calculations of the correl
ation functions also reveal that the exact shape and width of the correlati
on functions depend on the pulse duration and the observation time. Experim
ental results with picosecond pulses through thick and thin samples show go
od agreement with the theoretical calculations.
