laserdiffusion
Laserdiffusion is a term used in interdisciplinary discussions to describe approaches that combine laser optics with diffusion-based methods to control, simulate, or exploit light propagation for imaging and synthesis. It does not denote a single standardized technique, but rather a family of ideas appearing in optics, computational imaging, and generative modeling contexts.
In optics, laser diffusion can refer to the diffusion of coherent laser light through diffusive media or
Mechanisms vary: physical diffusion processes driven by laser heating or photon scattering, and mathematical diffusion models
Applications include imaging through turbid media (biomedical or atmospheric), material characterization, laser-assisted lithography, and generative tasks
Laserdiffusion is often discussed in relation to diffusion probabilistic models used in AI, but it is distinct
