摘要
We show that a new interference effect appears in the intensity fluctuations of photons multiply scattered by an atomic gas of large optical depth b. This interference occurs only for scattering atoms that are Zeeman degenerate and it leads to a deviation from the Rayleigh law. The fluctuations measured by their variance, display a resonance peak as a function of an applied magnetic field. The resonance width is proportional to the small factor 1/b. We derive closed analytic expressions for all these physical quantities which are directly accessible experimentally.
