Scientific paper

The correlate propagation of two nearby photons in phase space is studied for the first time. A general diffusion equation for a two-photon probability density is derived. The effects of large scale, average refraction are included, and it is shown that the exponential separation of the ray paths occurs in a medium with fluctuating refractive index, giving rise to chaotic behavior and to fractal structures. The results are applied to photon propagation through the solar corona and to the question of the decrease in the brightness temperature of the apparent source of solar radio bursts.
