A method for the optical characterization of a non-homogeneous solid granular medium, with an apparatus having a probe rod inserted into the non-homogeneous solid granular medium and a processor, the probe rod carrying at least one photoemitter and at least one photodetector, involves, by the photoemitter, emitting a probe light signal producing, upon interaction with the non-homogeneous solid granular medium, a return light signal scattered by the non-homogeneous solid granular medium and having intensity fluctuations deriving from local inhomogeneities or anisotropies of the non-homogeneous solid granular medium, and, by the photodetector, measuring a plurality of intensity values of the return light signal in a plurality of respective detection points, so as to detect the intensity fluctuations. The method further involves, by the processor, determining physical properties of the non-homogeneous solid granular medium by statistical analysis of the plurality of measured intensity values of the return light signal.
