The presence of a bright light in the visual field has two main effects on the retinal image: reduced contrast and increased retinal illuminance because of scattered light; the latter can, under some conditions, lead to an improvement in retinal sensitivity. The combined effect remains poorly understood, particularly at low light levels. A psychophysical flicker-cancellation test was used to me...

We present an imaging system based on low coherence interferometric detection of multiply scattered light for extended depth imaging into highly scattering media. By incorporating angle-resolved detection, coherence imaging with multiply scattered photons is shown to be both feasible and potentially superior to existing techniques for performing time-resolved measurements of scattered light. Im...

We studied optical properties of polarized light scattered off a turbid medium. Based on the experimental setup, and using Muller calculus, we developed a model that provided us with optical information of the scattered light like amount of surviving linear polarization and optical rotation of the light after scattering. The scattered light was detected laterally, perpendicular to the direction...

'What is the most intense stimulus I should use when studying an impaired region of the visual field?' This is a question which frequently faces the clinical investigator who is studying the function of a severely impaired region of the visual field, but it is a question to which answers cannot be found in the literature. The question arises because there are two distinct ways in which an inten...

In a liquid suspension the small particles dance around randomly executing Brownian motion. When laser light is focussed onto such a solution, the total light scattered consists of superposition of the light scattered from the individual particles in the scattering volume. Interference effects between the light scattered from different particles executing Brownian motion will cause this total i...

– We describe a self calibrating optical technique that allows to perform absolute measurements of scattering cross sections for the light scattered at extremely small angles. Very good performances are obtained by using a very simple optical layout similar to that used for the schlieren method, a technique traditionally used for mapping local refraction index changes. The scattered intensity d...
