Resolution limits for imaging through turbid media with diffuse light

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present analytic expressions for the achievable resolution for imaging through a turbid medium with multiply scattered light in the diffusion limit. We find that for detectable levels of light the spatial resolution ℛ (the half-width of the point-spread function) scales with thickness d of the sample as ℛ ≃ (0.2 ± 0.04)d over 10 orders of magnitude in input intensity and transport length. Experiments with a time-gated stimulated Raman amplifier are in good agreement with the calculations.
