Abstract
In this Letter, we report the observation of a quadratic magnetic-field dependence of diffuse light transmission through random media. This effect constitutes the photonic analogon of magnetoresistance known for diffusive electronic transport. The experiments are found to be in good agreement with recent theoretical predictions.Keywords
