The authors show that the reflection coefficient r of a succession of N random optical layers has a well defined, but sample-dependent, limit when N to infinity . The probability distribution or r at total reflection is found to depend only on (Imr)/ xi 2/3 where xi 2 is the noise variance. The analytical expressions appearing in this localisation problem are found to be the same as the universal functions describing intermittency with noise.
