Abstract

We present a brief summary of our recent work on classical and nonclassical optical diffusion in disorder metal oxides. Results on the optical transmission through a slab of titania spheres is presented and discussed in some detail illustrating the experimental method for obtaining the optical diffusion coefficient and photon absorption time from the transmission data. We conclude that the optical field-field correlation function with frequency is the Fourier transform of the time of flight distribution.
