Abstract
We describe measurements of light transmitted through a scattering sample as a function of scattering angle and polarization close to the forward direction. As scattering samples suspensions of latex with diameters between 0.3 micrometers and 1.09 micrometers and Intralipid- 10% are used. The results show that the multiple scattered light of 0.3 micrometers latex suspensions and Intralipid-10% is practically unpolarized. In contrast, the multiple scattered light of 1.09 micrometers latex suspensions is still partially polarized.
