Abstract
In turbid media, the partial or global orientation of anisotropic particles induces anisotropic light transport. In this study, we discuss the anisotropic incoherent transport of light in media where prolate ellipsoids are oriented in the same direction. In these anisotropic media, incoherent light transport is investigated using Monte Carlo simulations where the influence of particle anisotropy, size and optical properties are explored in a systematic way, from the local scattering event up to the diffusion limit. The database allows inverting the anisotropy of the backscattered image to yield the form factor of the particles. We then illustrate the relevance of such an analysis to assess the deformability of human erythrocytes in blood samples under normal physiological conditions.
