Abstract
We measure the distribution of intensity of microwave radiation transmitted through absorbing random waveguides of lengths up to localization length . For large intensity values the distribution is given by a negative stretched exponential to the power, in agreement with predictions by Nieuwenhuizen and van Rossum[Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 2674 (1995)] for diffusing waves in nonabsorbing samples, as opposed to a negative exponential given by Rayleigh statistics. The intensity distribution is well described by a transform derived by Kogan and Kaveh [Phys. Rev. B 52, R3813 (1995)] of the measured distribution of total transmission.
