Multiple Light Scattering<\/b><\/h1>\n
\n

Scattering of light in diffusive media is usually considered an inevitable perturbation or even a nuisance. Through repeated scattering and random interferences, it destroys both the spatial and the temporal coherence of any laser illumination. At the spatial level, it gives rise to the well know \u201cspeckle\u201d interference patterns. At the temporal (or spectral) level, a short pulse entering a scattering media will see its length greatly extended due to the multiplicity of short and long paths light can take before exiting the medium.
\nScattering media is however an interesting playground to test important physics theories at the crossing of optics, condensed matter physics, statistical physics, chaos, to name just a few. The possibility of continuously varying the complexity of the structures from totally disordered (like suspensions in liquid) to ordered structures (like photonics crystals), from solid to granular or even liquid state, from simple scattering to resonant scattering, absorption, or even gain medium open endless possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
