Abstract
We consider the propagation of a diffusive wave in a scattering medium submitted to a homogeneous expansion. The light multiply scattered by a glass spheres sample is measured. We analyze the variations of the scattered light when the material and the optical wavelength are dilated. We experimentally show that an isotropic expansion of the material is equivalent to a contraction of the wavelength. Moreover, the effect of an expansion of the material on the scattered wave may be canceled by a proportional increase of the wavelength, keeping the phase of the scattered wave unchanged. Applications to the characterization of deformation of disordered materials are outlined.
