Characterization and imaging in optically scattering media by use of laser speckle and a variable-coherence source
We demonstrate the application of laser-speckle statistics formed by a variable-coherence source illuminating a scattering medium, for determining the scattering parameter mu;(s)>(?) of a diffusion model for the medium. Furthermore, we apply this technique to visualize laterally localized inhomog...

Summary: | We demonstrate the application of laser-speckle statistics formed by a variable-coherence source illuminating a scattering medium, for determining the scattering parameter mu;(s)>(?) of a diffusion model for the medium. Furthermore, we apply this technique to visualize laterally localized inhomogeneities embedded within a highly scattering sample. |
