Abstract

It is well known that a thick scattering medium (e.g. a slab of paint) is opaque since incident waves are thoroughly scrambled [1,2]. In the diffusive transport regime, the scattered light has an (ensemble-averaged) energy density that linearly increases with depth from the front surface to about one mean free path , and then decreases linearly with depth to the back surface. Two main questions arise: (A) Can one increase (or decrease) the energy density? (B) What is the new position-dependence? Answers to these questions are crucial for light-matter interactions with applications to white LEDs, random lasers, solar cells, and biomedical optics.
