Abstract
An analytical study of the distribution of the phase of the transmission coefficient through a one-dimensional disordered absorbing system is presented. The phase is shown approximately to obey the Gaussian distribution. An explicit expression for the variance is obtained, which shows that absorption suppresses the fluctuations of the phase. The applicability of the random-phase approximation is discussed.
