Abstract
We study the intensity distribution function for monochromatic waves propagating in a quasi-one-dimensional disordered medium, assuming that a point source and a point detector are embedded in the bulk of the medium. We find deviations from the Rayleigh statistics at moderately large and a logarithmically normal asymptotic behavior of . When the radiation source and the detector are located close to the opposite edges of the sample (on a distance much less then the sample length), an intermediate regime with a stretched exponential behavior of emerges.
