Abstract
Translucent scattering phantoms hidden inside a 5.5-cm-thick Intralipi d solution were imaged as a function of phantom scattering coefficient s by the use of a picosecond time- and space-gated Kerr-Fourier imagin g system. A 2-mm-thick translucent phantom with a 0.1% concentration ( scattering coefficient) difference from the 55-mm-thick surrounding sc attering host can be distinguished at a signal level of similar to 10( -10) of the incidence illumination intensity.
