contents Interference of randomly scattered classical waves naturally leads to familiar speckle patterns, where the wave intensity follows an exponential distribution while the wave field itself is described by a circularly symmetric complex normal distribution. In the Itô-Schrödinger paraxial model of wave beam propagation, we demonstrate how a deterministic incident beam transitions to such a fully developed speckle pattern over long distances in the so-called scintillation (weak-coupling) regime.
