Transport processes underpin a multitude of phenomena, ranging from the propagation of atoms on lattices, to the mobility patterns of microorganisms and earthquakes, to name a few. The dynamics of these processes is very rich and key to…

Light diffusion is usually associated with thick, opaque media. Indeed, multiple scattering is necessary for the onset of the diffusive regime and such condition is generally not met in almost transparent media. Nonetheless, at long enough…

This work concerns the modeling of radiative transfer in anisotropic turbid media using diffusion theory. A theory for the relationship between microscopic scattering properties (i.e., an arbitrary differential scattering cross-section) and…

Anisotropic light transport is extremely common among scattering materials, yet a comprehensive picture of how macroscopic diffusion is determined by microscopic tensor scattering coefficients is not fully established yet. In this work, we…

For the rendering of multiple scattering effects in participating media, methods based on the diffusion approximation are an extremely efficient alternative to Monte Carlo path tracing. However, in sufficiently transparent regions,…

We have investigated the transport of light through slabs that both scatter and strongly absorb, a situation that occurs in diverse application fields ranging from biomedical optics, powder technology, to solid-state lighting. In…

A generalized anisotropic-diffusion framework is developed for transport problem in media described by a tensorial scattering coefficient and a scalar Henyey--Greenstein asymmetry factor. In this regime the classical similarity relation…

The multiple scattering of scalar waves in diffusive media is investigated by means of the radiative transfer equation. This approach amounts to a resummation of the ladder diagrams of the Born series; it does not rely on the diffusion…

We discuss effects of anisotropic scattering in transport properties of ultracold atoms in three-dimensional optical potentials. Within the realm of the first Born approximation, we calculate the self energy, the scattering mean free time,…

The multiple scattering of scalar waves in diffusive media is investigated by means of the radiative transfer equation. This approach, which does not rely on the diffusion approximation, becomes asymptotically exact in the regime of most…

Structurally anisotropic materials are ubiquitous in several application fields, yet their accurate optical characterization remains challenging due to the lack of general models linking their scattering coefficients to the macroscopic…

We formulate a new model for transport in stochastic media with long-range spatial correlations where exponential attenuation (controlling the propagation part of the transport) becomes power law. Direct transmission over optical distance…

In my thesis I study mesoscopic corrections on diffuse transport. I first describe the diffuse transport of light, using the scalar approximation and the radiative transfer approach. Next, I focus on the correlations in transmission, I…

Imaging the propagation of light in time and space is crucial in optics, notably for the study of complex media. We here demonstrate the passive measurement of time-dependent Green's functions between every point at the surface of a…

We present a Monte Carlo simulation for the scattering of light in the case of an isotropic light source. The scattering phase functions are studied particularly in detail to understand how they can affect the multiple light scattering in…

Light transport in superdiffusive media of finite size is studied theoretically. The intensity Green's function for a slab geometry is found by discretizing the fractional diffusion equation and employing the eigenfunction expansion method.…

In a medium where the dielectric permittivity is perturbed in the presence of an acoustic wave, optical scattering generates frequency-shifted light. In this paper we consider the inverse problem of recovering the optical properties of this…

Spatio-temporal imaging of light propagation is very important in photonics because it provides the most direct tool available to study the interaction between light and its host environment. Sub-ps time resolution is needed to investigate…

We extensively investigate in-plane light diffusion in systems with thickness larger than but comparable with the transport mean free path. By exploiting amplified spontaneous emission from dye molecules placed in the same holder of the…

We provide a complete and exact quantum description of coherent light scattering in a one-dimensional multi-mode transmission line coupled to a two-level emitter. Using recently developed scattering approach we discuss transmission…
