Mesoscopic phenomena in multiple light scattering

In my thesis I study mesoscopic corrections on diffuse transport. I first describe the diffuse transport of light, using the scalar approximation and the radiative transfer approach. Next, I focus on the correlations in transmission, I discuss the so called C_1, C_2, C_3 decomposition and calculate each term in detail. Finally, I discuss the full distribution functions in the transmission. Many references and figures are included. Note, however, that much of the work was already published or is present on the cond-mat archive. A limited number is available as hardcopy on request (vrossum@phys.uva.nl) else 132 pages Postscript.
