Abstract:

We present some experimental results on studying the backscattering intensification effect and intensity fluctuations of a spherical wave reflected from a flat mirror. It is found that the increase in the average intensity of the reflected wave takes place for strong intensity fluctuations. The experimental results are compared with the theoretical calculations. It is shown that the amplification of the intensity fluctuations is consistently manifested for weak fluctuations and in passing from weak to strong intensity fluctuations.
