Photon correlation and scattering: introduction to the feature issue.

This feature issue of Applied Optics contains 31 research papers on photon correlation and scattering, many of which were presented at an OSA Topical Meeting that was held 21-23 August 2000 in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. These papers focus on research in dynamic light scattering, surface light scattering, photon correlation, and laser velocimetry and their applications to physical, chemical, and biological processes.
