Abstract:
We consider the acousto-optic effect in a random medium. We derive the radiative transport equations that describe the propagation of multiply scattered light in a medium whose dielectric permittivity is modulated by an acoustic wave. Using this result, we present an analysis of the sensitivity of an acousto-optic measurement to the presence of a small absorbing inhomogeneity.
