Abstract

We confirmed that the uncertainty relation between time and energy is established in fluctuations in the space and time domains that appear when coherent optical pulses propagate through a disordered static medium. The widths of temporal and spectral correlation functions of these fluctuations satisfy the relation δτδω1, that is, δτδE. The number of fluctuations is discussed on the basis of the uncertainty relation.
