Quantitative absorption imaging: The role of incoherent multiple scattering in the saturating regime

In this paper, we study the modification of coherent scattering processes in dense ensembles. Using absorption imaging, we experimentally demonstrate that the absorption cross section in dense ^{87}Rb cold atom ensembles is reduced, with respect to the single-particle response. This reduction is lin...
