The use of fractals in optical wave propagation through random media

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

We review some of the ways in which the fractal concept has found application in optical wave-propagation contexts. The scaling properties of fractals in both geometrical and statistical situations are reviewed, and the relation to inverse power law spectra discussed. In particular the self-similar scaling properties of fractals, their relations to the statistics of discontinuous processes described by Levy distributions, and how these formalisms related to renormalization group functional equations is explored to provide a simple picture of wave propagation through mutiscaie random media.
