Multiple Scattering Of Light In Inhomogeneous Media And Applications, Claudia Mujat
Multiple Scattering Of Light In Inhomogeneous Media And Applications, Claudia Mujat
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Light scattering-based techniques are being developed for non-invasive diagnostics of inhomogeneous media in various fields, such as medicine, biology, and material characterization. However, as most media of interest are highly scattering and have a complex structure, it is difficult to obtain a full analytical solution of the scattering problem without introducing approximations and assumptions about the properties of the system under consideration. Moreover, most of the previous studies deal with idealized scattering situations, rarely encountered in practice. This dissertation provides new analytical, numerical, and experimental solutions to describe subtle effects introduced by the properties of the light sources, and by …
