title: Beyond the diffusing-wave spectroscopy model for the temporal fluctuations of scattered light.
abstract: We extend the theory of diffusing-wave spectroscopy using a random-walk approach and a numerical solution of the radiative transfer equation. The theory is not restricted to the diffusive regime and allows one to describe the crossover between the single-scattering and the diffusive regimes, which has been observed experimentally. It also predicts a lower bound of the scattered-field correlation time at long paths. This extended theory should have broad experimental applications in the field of imaging through biological tissues.
