Abstract

A new method for solving the radiative transfer equation was used to determine the diffuse radiance inside a scattering slab due to an incident beam with a finite transverse width. The radiance is calculated for several observation angles and at any point inside or at the boundaries of the slab, both for isotropically and weakly anisotropically scattering media. The results indicate that the absolute values are too low because the finite portion of the spectrum in the Fourier inversion was used. For wider incident beams, computations are easier since the spectrum is narrower.
