Abstract
This paper discusses the experimental validity of a frequently assumed fact : in a highly anisotropic scattering medium considered as infinite, a colli mated intensity-modulated beam source can be modelled by a point-like sourc e located on the emissive axis, at one time the mean transport length from the source fibre tip.
