Abstract

We report measurements of microwave intensity statistics in random configurations of polystyrene spheres contained in a cylinder with reflecting walls. As the sample thickness increases measurements of the intensity distribution and the intensity correlation function with frequency shift reveal a crossover from uncorrelated to correlated photon diffusion.
