Abstract

We study experimentally the brightness fluctuations of the light beam at the output of a layer of model turbid medium with strongly anisotropic scattering and randomly nonuniform distribution of an absorbing substance. The earlier developed theory of the light-field fluctuations is refined to broaden the limits of its applicability. It is shown that the refined model of fluctuations agrees well with the experiment and can be used for determining the parameters of absorbing irregularities of a turbid medium from the measured characteristics of brightness fluctuations of the light beam transmitted through the medium.
