SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING REFRACTIVE-INDEX FLUCTUATIONS OF A TARGET

摘要

Systems and methods for identifying refractive-index fluctuations of a target are described in this application. One embodiment includes identifying one or more properties of emergent light, the emergent light to be emergent from a target, and determining refractive-index fluctuations of the target based on the one or more properties of the emergent light. The determining refractive-index fluctuations further comprises determining one or more of the variance of the refractive- index fluctuations and the spatial correlation length of the refractive- index fluctuations. The determining refractive-index fluctuations further comprises determining one or more of the variance of the refractive- index fluctuations and the spatial correlation length of the refractive- index fluctuations.
