Algorithms for statistical modeling of radiation diffusion in a medium with a reflecting surface

An algorithm has been developed for calculating the transient propagation of a narrow collimated light beam in a scattering medium near a reflecting surface. The solution is applicable to a medium with an arbitrary scattering indicatrix and particle-size distribution. The angular reflection function and the albedo of the reflector are also arbitrary. Tabulated transmission functions are supplied, which allows the algorithm to be extended to the infrared region.We are indebted to G. V. Rozenberg and V. E. Zvev for proposing the topic.

Simulation of light scattering by large particles with randomly distributed spherical or cubic inclusions

An algorithm for simulation of light scattering by large spherical or cubic particles containing large spherical or cubic inclusions is developed. The computational procedure is based on ray tracing and a direct simulation Monte Carlo method. The proposed technique is capable of calculating scattering and polarization phase functions produced by an ensemble of randomly oriented particles containing large sized randomly distributed inclusions. In order to demonstrate the capacity of the computational procedure, the influence of the size of the inclusion on the scattering and polarization phase functions is examined in two configurations: spherical host with a concentric cubic inclusion and a cubic host with randomly distributed spherical inclusions.

Multiple Rayleigh-Gans-Debye scattering in colloidal systems-dynamic light scattering

Equations for (depolarized) intensity auto-correlation functions including second order scattering contributions are derived. The equations obtained are quite similar to those for static light scattering¹). The geometry of the scattering system plays an important role here.An iterative procedure to correct correlation functions for double scattering is presented.Experiments on colloidal solutions containing latex and silica particles are performed, testing the theory and the iterative correction procedure for double scattering. We use cylindrical cuvettes with cylindrical incident and detected beams of radiation. The agreement between experiment and theory is found to be quite good, yielding a routine correction procedure for double scattering.     

T-matrix method for biaxial anisotropic particles

Using the T-matrix approach electromagnetic scattering by a biaxial anisotropic non-axisymmetric particle is studied. Electromagnetic fields inside the scatterer are expressed by a system of quasi-spherical vector wave functions which are derived by use of inverse Fourier transform. Using this expansion a solution of the light scattering problem in the framework of the null-field method with discrete sources is obtained.Numerical scattering results for ellipsoids and cubes are presented. For validation the calculation results obtained are compared with results from other light scattering programs such as DDSCAT and ADDA.     

Peculiarities of critical light opalescence in a spatially limited multicomponent system

The light scattering by a spatially limited liquid multicomponent system near its critical state is investigated. A radially symmetric system is considered. The pair correlation functions of the density fluctuations of the components, on the basis of which the intensity of the single scattering of light is analyzed, are calculated for this system. It is shown that the light scattering in spatially limited multicomponent systems can be studied within the framework of approaches used for single-component and binary mixtures.     

Radiative transfer in plant leaves

A two-layer model of light scattering and absorption in plant phytoelements is considered, which takes into account absorption of light by pigments and water and light scattering by particles of two types: chloroplasts and air cavities. An elementary light scattering event is described using the Mie theory. Multiple light scattering in a leaf is described within the framework of the theory of radiative transfer. The equation of radiative transfer with a strongly anisotropic phase function is solved using the method of addition of layers and the method of reduction to a medium with effective parameters depending on the propagation direction of light. The spectral dependences of reflection and transmission coefficients are calculated in the visible range as functions of the leaf structure.     

Spontaneous emission and elastic scattering of light from quantum-well excitons in a Fabry-Perot microcavity

A theory of spontaneous emission and elastic light scattering by quasi-two-dimensional excitons in a quantum well placed in a Fabry-Perot microcavity is developed. The problem is solved by means of electrodynamic Green’s functions with inclusion of fluctuations of the quantum-well width and cavity wall shape treated as a perturbation. General expressions are found in a zero approximation of perturbation theory (plane interfaces) for the radiative decay rates of quasi-two-dimensional excitons and for their energy shifts in the cavity. The boundary conditions for the electromagnetic field are taken into account through the coefficients of inward light reflection from the cavity walls. Resonance contributions to the scattering cross sections, which differ in the polarizations (p or s) of the incident and scattered waves, are derived in the lowest (Born) approximation in quantum-well width fluctuations. The spectral and angular dependences of elastic light scattering are studied numerically for Gaussian and exponential correlation functions. It is shown that the contribution from quantum-well width fluctuations to light scattering exceeds that due to single interfaces (surfaces) of a heterostructure by two orders of magnitude.

Analysis of the radiative transfer equation with highly assymetric phase function

This paper considers a scalar radiative transfer problem with high scattering anisotropy. Two computational methods are presented based on decomposition of the diffuse light field into a regular and anisotropic part. The first algorithm (DOMAS) singles out the anisotropic radiance in the forward scattering peak using the Small-Angle Modification of RTE. The second algorithm (DOM2+) separates the single scattering radiance as an anisotropic part, which largely defines the fine detail of the total radiance in the backscattering directions. In both cases, the anisotropic part is represented analytically. With anisotropy subtraction, the regular part of the signal, which requires a numerical solution, is essentially smoothed as a function of angles. Further, the transport equation is obtained for the regular part that contains an additional source function from the anisotropic part of the signal. This equation is solved with the discrete ordinates method. A conducted numerical analysis of this work showed that algorithm DOMAS has a strong advantage as compared to the standard discrete ordinates method for simulation of the radiance transmission, and DOM2+ is the best of the three for the reflection computations. Both algorithms offer at least a factor of three acceleration of convergence of the azimuthal series for highly anisotropic phase functions.

The coupling between translational and rotational motions

The coupling between molecular reorientation and translational displacement is studied in a fluid of rough spheres. The correlation functions frequently encountered in thermal neutron scattering and laser light scattering are computed using a binary collision approximation. These are compared with the corresponding uncoupled results. In the diffusion limit coupled and uncoupled diffusion coefficients are found. The Hubbard relation is generalized. The maximum deviation between the coupled and uncoupled results occur for wavenumbers commonly found in thermal neutron scattering. The ratio of uncoupled and coupled correlation times displays regions where translation-rotation coupling is clearly important. In these regions there are important differences in the computed coupled and uncoupled correlation functions.
