Abstract

A new asymptotic scheme for intensity statistics of waves in random media with a pure power-law correlation is presented. In the strong scattering regime it provides effective and accurate asymptotic expansion series for all intensity moments. The new first-order result, which is considerably more accurate than that from the existing asymptotic theory, may also serve as a starting point for useful statistical models.
