Photon echoes in strongly scattering media: A diagrammatic approach

We study photon echo generation in disordered media with the help of multiple scattering theory based on diagrammatic approach and numerical simulations. We show that a strong correlation exists between the driving fields at the origin of the echo and the echo beam. Opening the way to a better understanding of non-linear wave propagation in complex materials, this work supports recent experimental results with applications to the measurement of the optical dipole lifetime $T_2$ in powders.
