Abstract
In this chapter, the concept of longitudinal penetration depth is extended to the transversal dimension of a laterally infinite homogeneous slab. Thus, a statistical tool is provided to study how light penetrates the lateral dimensions (x or y) of a scattering medium when a pencil beam impinges on it. The radial (transversal with a cylindrical symmetry r) penetration depth is also addressed in an infinite homogeneous medium that represents its natural geometry of analysis. The approach adopted is an extension of the content of Ch. 7. Therefore, the text will address the maximum radial penetration depth or the maximum lateral penetration depth. In the literature, while several publications dedicated to the longitudinal penetration depth can be found, to the extent of our knowledge, investigations dedicated to the transversal (radial or lateral) penetration depth are not available.
