Bulk scattering approximations for HeNe laser transmitted through paper.

An experimental set-up was devised to record the transmission of red and green HeNe lasers through different types of paper. The measured data was compared with data obtained using the Henyey-Greenstein function (often employed in paper optics models to represent the bulk scattering of material samples) and data obtained using an alternative exponentiated cosine function. The comparisons are used to qualitatively assess the degree of fidelity of the bulk scattering approximations provided by both functions.
