Spatial coherence of light inside three-dimensional media

Light in disordered materials generates rich interference patterns called speckle, whose properties are known only on the outside of a sample. Here, the authors provide direct measurements and understanding of speckle generated inside a material, retrieving fundamental information that remained inac...

description Light in disordered materials generates rich interference patterns called speckle, whose properties are known only on the outside of a sample. Here, the authors provide direct measurements and understanding of speckle generated inside a material, retrieving fundamental information that remained inaccessible up to now.
