I have created a rectangular detector in a scattering medium volume to measure power generated by a Gaussian light source, and I found the reading is higher than the light source emission I set up. This puzzled me for some time. My question is, does the detector count from both sides? I am wondering if the higher reading is becuase each time the scattered photon hit the detector area, the count is registered, and this could happen multiple times for a photon. Any idea on this? Thanks.
