Overview

This text provides a detailed theoretical background of image generation and detection in scattering media and acts as a handbook for solutions to practical problems. The fundamentals are presented within the radiation transfer theory (the calculation of light fields in media interacting with coherent or solar radiation) and applied to, for example, the optics of rough sea surfaces and stochastic clouds, and the design of imaging systems (photographic, holographic, biological). Emphasis is placed on the propagation of CW and pulsed laser beams. The parameters influencing image quality are discussed in detail. The exposition of the fundamentals will be useful for theoreticians, yet it is primarily addressed to experimentalists and engineers.
