Abstract

As light travels through turbid media such as ocean water, clouds or tissue, it is attenuated by absorption and scattering. In this type of media, scattering is due mainly to particles that are much larger than the wavelength of light. The angular scattering probability (known as the scattering phase function) is often extremely forward-peaked and difficult to measure. Measurement of the scattering phase function is needed as an input to theoretical models that predict optical system performance.
