Résumé:

Due to the existence of open channels, light could theoretically be transmitted through disorderedmedia with 100% efficiency. However, because of the large number of channels to be controlledor measured, this has been never observed experimentally. To avoid this difficulty we considerobservables easier to handle experimentally. By measuring the correlations of the field transmittedthrough a disordered medium, we were able to count the number of channels involved in transmissionand to compare this number with theory. For a sample of transmission 1=25, we get a number ofmodes about 15 times smaller than for free space propagation. This figure is in good agreementwith theoretical prediction.
