Abstract

In the first paper, we derived the governing equations for all the statistical moments of the radiation field in a random medium. In this paper, we use generalized Wiener integrals to derive the general solutions of these equations. We also study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions for both large and small values of propagation distance.
