Analysis of the speckle pattern produced by mixtures of polystyrene microspheres: An attempt to explain fruits ripening process

摘要

Changes in scatterers dimensions, size proportions, scattering coefficients, refractive index etc. can be detected and quantified using laser speckle analysis. In this study, we consider samples designed for this study with controlled scatterers sizes and proportions. A good agreement between experimental results performed on media with controlled parameters, fruits undergoing maturation, and Monte Carlo simulations is demonstrated.
