Multi-speckle diffusing wave spectroscopy with a single mode detection scheme
arXiv:cond-mat/0509637 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.73.011413
Abstract
We present a detection scheme for diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) based on a two cell geometry that allows efficient ensemble averaging. This is achieved by putting a fast rotating diffuser in the optical path between laser and sample. We show that the recorded (multi-speckle) correlation echoes provide an ensemble averaged signal that does not require additional time averaging. We find the performance of our experimental scheme comparable or even superior to camera based multi-speckle techniques that rely on direct spatial averaging. Furthermore, combined with traditional two-cell DWS, the full intensity autocorrelation function can be measured with a single experimental setup covering more than 10 decades in correlation time.
