Abstract

Experiments on time-resolved photon transmission through polystyrene scattering solutions were performed. Time-resolved polarization measurements were used to extract coded information buried within the multiple-scattered pulse profile from the early ballistic and snake components passing through a turbid medium. This method has the potential to improve optical wireless communication in a cloudy environment.
