Motivation The statistics of the speckle pattern and its evolution are universal ? or rather They may reflect the changing character of radiation at the Anderson transition ?

In Conclusion • Fundamental aspects of multiple scattering and transport through random media reveal themselves in some aspects of the speckle field. • While the statistics of static speckle patterns are generic, fluctuations in the change within speckle patterns are greatly enhanced in the localization regime. • Speckle evolution reflects the interaction with the underlying electromagnetic modes of the medium.
