Abstract
We describe the evolution of a linear transmittance when it is perturbed with multiplicative noise; the evolution is approximated through an ensemble of random transmittances that are used to generate diffraction fields. The randomness induces a competition mechanism between noise and transmittance, and it is identified through the self-correlation function. We show that the geometry of the self-correlation function is a single peak preserved in the diffraction field that can be matched with localization-like effects. To corroborate the theoretical predictions, we perform an experiment using a linear grating where the noise is approximated by a stochastic Markov chain. Experimental results are shown.
