Photon pathlengths and polarization effects in scattering of light in turbid media

摘要

Abstract: Light backscattered from turbid media in the crossed-polarized channel shows a symmetrical pattern. It depends on the pathlengths distribution of the multiply scattered photons. The present paper investigates the relation between the cross-polarized backscattered light and the number of collisions experienced by photons in a narrow beam geometry.!18
