Speckle intensity statistics for chromatic scattering media under partially polarized illumination.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intensity contrast in a fully developed speckle pattern resulting from the elastic scattering of a partially polarized light from a strongly scattering medium is theoretically and numerically studied. Simple expressions are derived when the illumination bandwidth is much smaller or larger than the chromatic length of the scattering medium.

Polarized temporal impulse response for scattering media from third-order frequency correlations of speckle intensity patterns.
Second- and third-order frequency correlations of speckle intensity patterns are used to characterize scattering media for multiple polarization states. The polarized temporal responses thus obtained are sensitive to the degree of scatter, with results being predictable by a diffusion model with sufficiently strong scatter. Experimental data are used to reconstruct various transfer functions.
متن کاملSpeckle statistics of electromagnetic waves scattered from perfectly conducting random rough surfaces
By means of the extinction-theorem method, previously reported by J. M. Soto-Crespo and M. Nieto-Vesperinas [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 6, 367 (1989)], the intensity statistics of the s-polarized electromagnetic field scattered from randomly rough, perfectly conducting, one-dimensional surfaces are studied in the case of surface transverse correlation lengths larger than the wavelength. In particular, ...
متن کاملImaging in scattering media by use of laser speckle
We present a method for the detection and localization of inhomogeneities embedded within highly scattering media that employs speckle statistics with a partially coherent light source. Variations in speckle contrast as a function of position are used to interrogate inhomogeneities deeply embedded within scattering media. A numerical model based on photon diffusion theory is introduced to predi...
متن کاملLight enpolarization by disordered media under partial polarized illumination: the role of cross-scattering coefficients.
We show how disordered media allow to increase the local degree of polarization (DOP) of an arbitrary (partial) polarized incident beam. The role of cross-scattering coefficients is emphasized, together with the probability density functions (PDF) of the scattering DOP. The average DOP of scattering is calculated versus the incident illumination DOP.
متن کاملSpeckle-free laser imaging using random laser illumination.
Many imaging applications require increasingly bright illumination sources, motivating the replacement of conventional thermal light sources with bright light-emitting diodes, superluminescent diodes and lasers. Despite their brightness, lasers and superluminescent diodes are poorly suited for fullfield imaging applications because their high spatial coherence leads to coherent artefacts such a...
