Optical bandpass characteristics of reflectance from random media
Experiments show that the optical reflectance of a random medium can have a nonmonotonic dependence on wavelength even when its absorption spectrum is flat and its scattering coefficient decreases monotonically with wavelength. Measured at a particular radial distance from the illumination point, the reflectance is almost independent of wavelength over a wide band. The peak wavelength of the re...
متن کاملDiagnosis of the phase function of random media from light reflectance
Light reflectance has been widely used to diagnose random media in both in situ and in vivo applications. The quantification of the phase function of the medium from reflectance measurements, however, remains elusive due to the lack of an explicit connection between the light reflectance profile and the phase function. Here we first present an analytical model for reflectance of scattered light...
متن کاملSource of error in calculation of optical diffuse reflectance from turbid media using diffusion theory
Diffusion theory and similarity relations were used to calculate the optical diffuse reflectance of an infinitely narrow laser beam incident upon a semi-infinite turbid medium. The results were analyzed by comparison with the accurate results from Monte Carlo simulations. Because a large number of photon packets were traced, the variance of the results from Monte Carlo simulations was small eno...
متن کاملPropagation of transverse optical coherence in random multiple-scattering media
We experimentally investigate the evolution of the transverse spatial coherence of light as it traverses a random, multiple-scattering medium. For near-forward scattering, it has been proposed that the wave-transport process can be well described by a transport equation for the spatial-angular Wigner function of the light, or equivalently for the two-point spatial coherence function ~mutual int...
متن کاملOptical path-length spectroscopy of wave propagation in random media.
We propose optical path-length spectroscopy as a new approach to obtaining information from media that exhibit multiple light scattering. By using a backscattering technique based on low-coherence interferometry, we are able to determine the optical path-length distribution for light reflected from a random medium and to infer the value of the transport mean free path. We illustrate how a diffu...
