To evaluate the impact of time-dependent fluctuations within a random medium on the spectral intensity and intensity fluctuations of multiply scattered light.
Applied the diffusion approximation to model light undergoing multiple scattering events in dynamically fluctuating media.
Formulated mathematical relationships connecting the scattered spectral intensity to the angular-averaged structure factor of the medium.
Demonstrated that the relaxation time of scattered light depends directly on the number of scattering events and path lengths, producing a broad distribution of relaxation times.
Characterized the spectral intensity profile specifically occurring in coherent backscattering geometries under temporal fluctuations.
