Abstract
Illuminating disordered samples with waveforms matched to transmission-matrix eigenchannels produces transmission ranging from complete to vanishing with strong variations in internal energy density, enabling the control of wave propagation for applications in imaging and communications. The origin of these departures from diffusive transport has remained a puzzle since phase coherence is rapidly lost due to scattering. We show here that coherence among waveguide modes grows with sample depth, shaping flux, energy density, and velocity in transmission eigenchannels throughout the sample.
