Abstract
This chapter provides an introduction to mesoscopic phenomena. In particular, mesoscopic phenomena are related in one way or the other to the preservation of wave characteristics, such as interference and phase memory, even after strong multiple scattering. A speckle pattern results from the interference of randomly scattered waves. For a given configuration of random scatterers, the intensity at a given observation point is the absolute square of the sum of amplitudes for all the different wave paths emanating from the particular source. By assuming that the intensity distribution of the speckle pattern for a given configuration is the same as that for a given observation point varied over different configurations, a given equation states that the intensity has an exponential distribution.
