The study of light transport in scattering media plays a central role in various scientific and technological applications, particularly in fields such as biomedical imaging and material science. When light traverses a scattering medium, its intensity and polarization state is affected by multiple interactions with its constituent elements, making it challenging to accurately characterize the optical and structural properties of the material. In this thesis work, we introduce a technique called Polarized Transient Imaging, which combines simultaneous time, spatial, and polarization-resolved detection providing a comprehensive understanding of the light diffusion process. This research offers a framework to investigate scattering media, validate analytical models and test new simulation software implementations, with promising implications in a broad range of scenarios, ranging from biomedical optics to material science.

Abstract

The study of light transport in scattering media plays a central role in various scientific and technological applications, particularly in fields such as biomedical imaging and material science. When light traverses a scattering medium, its intensity and polarization state is affected by multiple interactions with its constituent elements, making it challenging to accurately characterize the optical and structural properties of the material. In this thesis work, we introduce a technique called Polarized Transient Imaging, which combines simultaneous time, spatial, and polarization-resolved detection providing a comprehensive understanding of the light diffusion process. This research offers a framework to investigate scattering media, validate analytical models and test new simulation software implementations, with promising implications in a broad range of scenarios, ranging from biomedical optics to material science.
