What do lotus flowers have in common with human bones, liquid crystals with colloidal
suspensions, and white beetles with the beautiful stones of the Taj Mahal? The answer is …

Studies of Raman scattering, fluorescence and time-resolved light scattering were
conducted on cancer and normal biomedical media. Fourier transform Raman spectroscopic …

This volume provides a thorough treatment of multiple scattering of light and other
electromagnetic radiation in media composed of randomly and sparsely positioned particles …

Light propagating in an optically thick sample experiences multiple scattering. It is now
known that interferences alter this propagation, leading to an enhanced backscattering, a …

A disordered photonic medium is one in which scatterers are distributed randomly. Light
entering such media experiences multiple scattering events, resulting in a “random walk” …

When a picosecond light pulse is incident upon a turbid medium such as tissue, the
temporal distribution of diffusely reflected and transmitted photons depends on the optical …

Coherent backscattering of light is observed when electromagnetic waves undergo multiple
scattering within a disordered optical medium. So far, coherent backscattering of light has …

In this paper, we discuss approaches our group has developed for the problem of imaging
the interior of dense scattering media [1]. While our principal focus is on potential biomedical …

Coherent backscattering (CBS) of light waves by a random medium is a signature of
interference effects in multiple scattering. This effect has been studied in many systems …

The successful development and clinical use of instruments that perform real-time near-infra
red spectroscopy of transilluminated tissue has led to a widespread interest in the …
