Abstract
We propose an original technique based on low coherence interferometry to detect objects in strongly scattering media. In order to use broadband light, a special interferometer called the SISAM correlator is used to allow coherent superposition of the reference and tested beams. Direct measurement of the time intercorrelation function is obtained. Image reconstruction of a 3D phase object embedded in a latex beads suspension is demonstrated. Experiments are successfully compared to the theoretical analysis of the method.
