Abstract
The statistical properties of speckle patterns have important applications in optics, oceanography, and transport phenomena in disordered systems. Here we obtain closed-form analytic results for the amplitude distribution of speckle patterns formed by a random number of partial waves characterized by an arbitrary phase distribution, generalizing classical results of the random-walk theory of speckle patterns. We show that the functional form of the amplitude distribution is solely determined by ...
The statistical properties of speckle patterns have important applications in optics, oceanography, and transport phenomena in disordered systems. Here we obtain closed-form analytic results for the amplitude distribution of speckle patterns formed by a random number of partial waves characterized by an arbitrary phase distribution, generalizing classical results of the random-walk theory of speckle patterns. We show that the functional form of the amplitude distribution is solely determined by the distribution of the number of scatterers, while the phase distribution only influences the scale parameters. In the case of a nonrandom number of scatterers, we find an analytic expression for the amplitude distribution that extends the Rayleigh law to nonuniform random phases. For a negative binomial distribution of the number of scatterers, our results reveal that large fluctuations of the wave amplitudes become more pronounced in the case of biased random phases. We present numerical results that fully support our analytic findings. ...
