Abstract

We calculate field-field and intensity-intensity correlation functions for light transmitted and reflected by a weakly nonlinear random medium containing randomly distributed scatterers. In a nonlinear Kerr medium, these correlation functions involve a characteristic length for phase decorrelation due to a change of the refractive index along the diffusive path of light. A new approximate expression for the nonlinear backscattering cone is obtained.
