Abstract: Solutions to the equation $partia{l}_{t}calE(x,t)-fraci2mDeltacalE(x,t)=lambda|S(x,t){|}^{2}calE(x,t)$ are investigated, where $S(x,t)$ is a complex Gaussian field with zero mean and specified covariance, and $me0$ is a complex mass with $mIm(m)ge0$. For real $m$ this equation describes the backscattering of a smoothed laser beam by an optically active medium. Assuming that $S(x,t)$ is the sum of a finite number of independent complex Gaussian random variables, we obtain an expression for the value of $lambda$ at which the $q$-th moment of $|calE(x,t)|$ w.r.t. the Gaussian field $S$ diverges. This value is found to be less or equal for all $me0$, $mIm(m)ge0$ and $|m|<+infty$ than for $|m|=+infty$, i.e. when the $DeltacalE$ term is absent. Our solution is based on a distributional formulation of the Feynman path-integral and the Paley-Wiener theorem.
