Abstract

In this work we present a theoretical study on the propagation of light in heterogeneous systems with fluctuating optical properties. To understand the consequences of the fluctuations we perform numerical calculations with uniform and non uniforms systems using Monte Carlo simulations. We consider two distributions to represent a non-uniform medium: delta function and an exponential negative distributions. The results show that even with finite moments distributions, may require a large number of interactions for a convergence towards Gaussian statistics. This can be important when estimating the optical properties of thin films.
