Abstract
Light of arbitrary incident polarization that diffuses through a sufficiently thick multiply scattering medium emerges totally depolarized with a Stokes vector that is that of natural light. It is shown how to reconstruct the Stokes vector of the incident beam by making four speckle correlation measurements on the totally depolarized, diffusely scattered light. The theory is confirmed by experiment.
