Structural disorder results in multiple scattering in real photonic crystals,which have been widely used for applications and studied for fundamentalinterests. The interaction of light with such complex photonic media isexpected to show interplay between disorder and order. For a completelydisordered medium, the intensity statistics is well-known to obey Rayleighstatistics with a negative exponential distribution function, corresponding toabsence of correlations. Intensity statistics is unexplored however for complexmedia with both order and disorder. We study experimentally the intensitystatistics of light reflected from photonic crystals with various degree ofdisorder. We observe deviations from the Rayleigh distribution and thedeviations increase with increasing long-range order.
