Time-dependent radiation transfer with Rayleigh scattering in finite slab media

The time-dependent radiation transfer equation in a finite plane geometry with Rayleigh scattering is studied. The traveling wave transformation is used to obtain the corresponding stationary-like equation. Pomraning-Eddington approximation is then used to find the solution. Numerical results for reflectivity at the left boundary and transmissivity from the right boundary are presented at different times. The medium is assumed to have specular-reflecting boundaries with angular-dependent externally incident flux. Two different weight functions are introduced to force the boundary conditions to fulfill.     

Rayleigh and Mandelstam-Brillouin light scattering in chalcogenide glasses of the As-S system

The Rayleigh light scattering in chalcogenide glasslike alloys of the As-S system is investigated. The velocities of longitudinal hypersound, elasto-optical constants, extinction coefficients, and scattering losses have been determined. It is shown that an increase in the amount of sulfur in alloys leads to an increase in chemical differentiation and, as a result, to an increase in the intensity of Rayleigh scattering and in inherent optical losses.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 71, No. 6, 823–826, November–December, 2004.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected cover date.     

Dynamical properties of water-methanol solutions: Brillouin and depolarized Rayleigh scattering

Summary We have performed Brillouin and depolarized Rayleigh light scattering on water-methanol solutions as a function of methanol molar fraction and temperature. For this system, molecular-dynamics (MD) simulation predicts that a shell of water forms around a methanol molecule, prediction which has been recently confirmed by neutron diffraction experiments. The results obtained by light scattering and presented here confirm previous observations and show, in addition, an increase of the stability in time of the water structure in the shells when temperature decreases and methanol concentration approaches a particular value.

Characterization of premixed swirling methane/air diffusion flame through filtered Rayleigh scattering

Characteristics of a premixed, swirl methane/air diffusion flame at atmospheric pressure are measured by filtered Rayleigh scattering (FRS). Three operating conditions are investigated with the equivalence ratios of the methane/air flame covering a range of 0.67—0.83. Under each condition, single-shot and averaged FRS images over a region measured 39.3×65.6 mm² at seven cross sections of the flame are collected to demonstrate the flame behavior. A gradient calculation algorithm is applied to identify reaction zone locations and structures in the instantaneous FRS measurements. Statistical analysis for the mean FRS measurements is performed by means of joint probability density functions. The experimental results indicate that thermochemical state of the swirl flame is strongly influenced by equivalence ratio, leading to varieties of flame structures and temperature distributions. The gradient of the instantaneous FRS images clearly illustrates the characteristics of the reaction zone. The results also demonstrate that FRS can provide detailed insights into the behavior of turbulent flames.     

Effect of higher-order electric and magnetic multipolar transitions on Rayleigh light scattering in liquids

We calculate the effect of magnetic dipolar transitions, related with the polarizabilities B″, ′, and ″ and electric-quadrupole transitions, related with the polarizabilities C′, ″, and ′, on dynamical Rayleigh light scattering by isotrophic media. To this aim, we introduce molecular scattering factors of the fourth, fifth and sixth orders related with these polarizabilities. For molecules with 76 magnetic point group symmetries these transitions are found to affect the time-dependent intensities and depolarization ratios of scattered light. Among the 76 groups, the molecules belonging to 23 groups exhibit natural (transmission and Rayleigh) optical activity, whereas the point group m shows Rayleigh activity only. The effects in question result moreover from the contribution of magnetic-dipole and electric-quadrupole transitions. For isotropic molecules, the above transitions lead to partial depolarization of the scattered light wave. Our use of i- and c-tensors as well as Hermitian and anti-Hermitian components permits the extension of our discussion to regions of absorption as well as cases of full symmetry of the molecules.

Multicomponent Rayleigh scattering from guanidine hydrochloride solutions

We present results of Brillouin light scattering studies of lysozyme and guanidine hydrochloride solutions in the temperature range 290–350 K. The Brillouin spectra of 6 M guanidine hydrochloride have been found to contain an additional component in Rayleigh scattering that manifests itself as a broad quasi‐elastic scattering line centered at the unshifted frequency and described by a Lorentz function (i.e. a Debye relaxor with relaxation time τ₁ ~ 25 ps at room temperature). The temperature dependence of τ₁ is described by the Arrhenius law with activation energy E_a = 0.11 ± 0.01 eV and prefactor τ₀= 0.33 ± 0.03 ps. The Brillouin spectra of lysozyme denatured by 6 M guanidine hydrochloride exhibit a more complicated structure of the additional contribution into Rayleigh scattering, which is fitted best of all by a sum of two Lorentzians centered at the unshifted frequency (with relaxation times τ₁ ~ 19 ps and τ₂ ~ 180 ps at 339 K). Possible origins of the quasi‐elastic scattering are discussed. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Nature of depolarized quasi-elastic light scattering in associated and non-associated liquids

Summary An analysis of Rayleigh-wing spectra on two isomers of propanol (C₃H₇OH) and on two of their Br-based isomorphous systems (C₃H₇Br) is presented. The performed measurements, over a wide temperature range, allow us to identify two different processes characterizing the response of both the alcohols. A comparison between the rotational dynamics of the linear normal-propanol (1-propanol) and the more sterically hindered iso-propanol (2-propanol) is performed. At the same time, the role played by the H-bond in the associative properties of hydrogenous systems is investigated by comparing the dynamical response of the two alcohols with that of 1-bromopropane and 2-bromopropane, in which the O−H ?active? sites are replaced by ?inert? bromine atoms.

Small-angle light scattering studies of dense AOT-water-decane microemulsions

Summary We have performed extensive studies of a three-component microemulsion system composed of AOT-water-decane (AOT=sodium-bis-ethylhexyl-sulfosuccinate is an ionic surfactant) using small-angle light scattering (SALS). The small-angle scattering intensities are measured in the angular interval 0.001–0.1 radians, corresponding to a Bragg wave number range of 0.14 μm⁻¹<Q<<1.4 μm⁻¹. The measurements were made by changing temperature and volume fraction ϕ of the dispersed phase (water + AOT) in the range 0.05<ϕ<0.75. All samples have a fixed water-to-AOT molar ratio,w=[water]/[AOT]=40.8, in order to keep the same average droplet size in the stable one-phase region. With the SALS technique, we have been able to observe all the phase boundaries of a very complex phase diagram with a percolation line and many structural organizations within it. We observe at the percolation transition threshold, a scaling behavior of the intensity data. This behavior is a consequence of a clustering among microemulsion droplets near the percolation threshold. In addition, we describe in detail a structural transition from a droplet microemulsion to a bicontinuous one as suggested by a recent small-angle neutron scattering experiment. The loci of this transition are located several degrees above the percolation temperatures and are coincident with the maxima previously observed in shear viscosity. From the data analysis, we show that both the percolation phenomenon and this novel structural transition are derived from a large-scale aggregation between microemulsion droplets.

Resonant Rayleigh scattering mediated by 2D cavity polaritons

We study the angular dependence of the emission from cavity polaritons resonantly excited by a picosecond laser pulse. We observe that, in the first stage, the initial excitation is rapidly redistributed by elastic scattering along a well-defined ring in the wave vector space resulting in an angular-dependent emission. This initial transfer, which conserves the polarization, is attributed mainly to resonant Rayleigh scattering of polaritons. We also study the width of this ring and show that it is detuning dependent, reflecting the energy dispersion of the polaritons. At longer delay, the emission is found to be isotropic and depolarized, in agreement with previous studies.     

Small-angle light scattering in dense microemulsions,transition from droplet to bicontinuous phase

Summary We have performed extensive small-angle light scattering (SALS) measurements on a three-component microemulsion (AOT/decane/water) as a function of the dispersed phase concentration and the temperature. All samples have a water/AOT molar fractionw=40.8. Such a system presents a very complex phase diagram with many structural configurations. With the SALS technique, we have been able to observe all the phase separation lines. In particular we give details on the system structure on the percolation phenomenon and on the bicontinuous phase recently observed. In particular we show that the percolation is driven by a long-scale aggregation between microemulsion droplets.

气体密度对瑞利散射法测量团簇尺寸影响的初步分析

 瑞利散射法被广泛地应用于测量团簇尺寸,通常视散射信号的强弱只正比于团簇的大小。从理论推导得到瑞利散射信号并不仅仅是团簇尺寸的函数,而与团簇尺寸、气体密度和结合率均有关系,认为采用瑞利散射法测量团簇尺寸应考虑气体密度对测量结果的影响。并用该分析方法研究了氩团簇沿喷嘴轴线的尺寸分布情况：团簇尺寸沿喷嘴轴线并不是单纯的单调变化,而是在某个位置达到最大值,并且这个位置与背景压强等因素有关。     

Rayleigh scattering in fused silica samples for gravitational wave detectors

Laser interferometer gravitational wave detectors require very high optical quality test masses. We report the bulk Rayleigh scattering in high quality fused silica samples. Results show that the scattering of the high quality fused silica is similar for various grades of fused silica from Heraeus. The total integrated scattering is about 0.7 ppm cm^− 1at 1064 nm wavelength, which agrees with the theoretical value calculated using known fused silica parameters. All samples show Rayleigh scattering ratio inhomogeneity of ~ 4%.     

Superradiant Rayleigh scattering of light from a Bose-Einstein condensate of dilute atomic gases, taking into account backward recoil momentum

An extension of the semiclassical model is proposed for superradiant Rayleigh scattering of light from a Bose-Einstein condensate of dilute atomic gases. In contrast to the familiar models, this model takes into account the fact that the atom may be excited by the scattered light and may acquire backward recoil momentum. The presented equations are solved analytically for the initial (linear) stage of the process. The intensity of the scattered light and the efficiency of populating atomic states with different momentum values are studied as a function of detuning from resonance. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 73, No. 1, pp. 65–72, January–February, 2006.     

Rayleigh and hyper-Rayleigh scatterings in solution

A concept of concentration gradient induced by incident radiation which describes the dependence of the Rayleigh (I_ω) and hyper-Rayleigh (I_2ω) intensities on the power as well as background concentration is proposed. In our previous paper, we have demonstrated the effect of concentration gradient on the first-, second- and third-order polarizabilities and discussed that concentration gradient in the system can be created in a different way. Here we demonstrate the most important origin of the concentration gradient in a system, i.e., the concentration gradient generation by the incident radiation. The formulae developed here can be applied to describe the optical behaviour of solution and gas-phase systems.
