Summary[edit]
DescriptionLight scattering - Averaging.gif |
English: Coherent light incident on a scattering medium will produce a volume speckle inside the material. But if you start averaging over more and more realizations of the disorder, the average doesn't look like speckle anymore.
The real part of the electric field (right panel) inside the scattering medium averages to zero, but not immediately. There is a region inside where the amplitude decays exponentially, showing that not all the light is scattered immediately (Lamber-Beer law). The intensity of the electric field (left panel) can not average to zero, as it is a positive quantity, but it gets smoother and smoother. To a good approximation the average light intensity in a scattering medium can actually be described using the diffusion equation! |
