[EC17.13] Measuring the mean-free-path of light in a turbid medium

David L. Everitt, X. D. Zhu (University of California, Davis)

The scattering mean-free-path is determined from measurements of the unscattered intensity transmitted through a thin wedge of the medium. The transport mean-free-path is determined from measurements of the diffuse flux transmitted through a thick sample of the medium. These results provide a test of models for the light diffusion boundary conditions.
