Abstract
A theoretical investigation of non-Gaussian scattering by a smoothly varying deep random phase screen is presented. New analytical results, valid for arbitrary illuminated area, are derived for the contrast of the intensity pattern in the Fraunhofer region and the effect of two scale sizes in the screen is calculated.
