摘要：

We present analytic expressions for the achievable resolution for imaging through a turbid medium with multiply scattered light in the diffusion limit. We find that for detectable levels of light the spatial resolution R (the halfwidth of the point-spread function) scales with thickness d of the sample as R congruent-to (0.2 +/- 0.04)d over 10 orders of magnitude in input intensity and transport length. Experiments with a time-gated stimulated Raman amplifier are in good agreement with the calculations.
