Abstract
We present an experimental study of the pulse shape, delay, and spread of an optical pulse transmitted through a medium containing uniform latex microspheres using a mode-locked Nd:glass laser with a 20-psec pulse width. The delay of the arrival time of the peak intensity and the half-power pulse width for three different particle sizes are shown for an optical distance of up to 45.Keywords
