Description
We calculate the field-field correlation function in a disordered optically active medium. It is shown that this function exhibits characteristic spatial oscillations, with a period related to the chirality parameter of the medium. Similar oscillations show up in correlations of the polarization-resolved intensity. In contrast, correlations in the total intensity, i.e. summed over all polarizations, are not sensitive to chirality
