Speckle experiments in random lasers [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2002
We present measurements of speckle in a random laser. We analyze its first-order statistics and show that, contrary to what might be expected for passive systems, analyses of the intensity distribution P(I) and the speckle spot size do provide information about light transport inside the system. P(I) is used to determine the degree to which an incident
