Self-consistent scattering theory for the radiative transport equation

Abstract

We study light propagation in a random medium governed by the radiative transport equation. We present a theory for the transport equation with an inhomogeneous absorption coefficient. We obtain an analytical expression for the specific intensity in a uniform absorbing and scattering medium containing a point absorber. Using that result we derive a self-consistent system of integral equations to study a collection of point absorbers. We show numerical results that demonstrate the use of this theory.
