    "abstract": "We compute the statistics of thermal emission from systems in which the\nradiation is scattered chaotically, by relating the photocount distribution to\nthe scattering matrix - whose statistical properties are known from\nrandom-matrix theory. We find that the super-Poissonian noise is that of a\nblack body with a reduced number of degrees of freedom. The general theory is\napplied to a disordered slab and to a chaotic cavity, and is extended to\ninclude amplifying as well as absorbing systems. We predict an excess noise of\namplified spontaneous emission in a random laser below the laser threshold.",
