Random error of determining light scattering matrix elements at various polarization states of probing radiation

Using the method of mathematical modeling, we consider the transformation of a random error of light intensity measurement into an error of determining elements of the light scattering matrix. We consider a device in which the polarization properties of probing radiation change depending on the setting of the phase plate and polarization analysis of scattered radiation is performed while the second phase plate located ahead of a stationary analyzer is rotated. A set of settings of the first phase plate has been revealed, which provides a minimum random error in determining the scattered light matrix elements.

Nanoparticle size characterization by laser light scattering

Spherical semiconductor nanoparticles (ZnS) were specially fabricated by an inexpensive chemical route. The scattering profile of the nanoparticles was investigated by laser light scattering technique. A beam of polarized light from a diode laser (λ ₀ ≈ 630 nm) was allowed to fall on the nanospheres embedded in flexible host matrix Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA). The light scattered from the samples were detected by means of analyzer mounted photodiode array from 10° to 170° in steps of 1°. Signals from the detectors were interfaced with a high resolution data acquisition system and the whole experiment was carried out in differential mode. Size of the nanoparticles was obtained by using Mie theory and verified by T-matrix approach. The results obtained agree with the XRD and TEM results.      

Laser Compton scattering for a linearly polarized laser

Laser Compton light sources are potential candidates for the next generation of high-brightness X or γ-ray sources. When increasing the laser power to obtain intense X-ray laser, nonlinear Compton scattering happens. Nonlinear Compton scattering of linearly polarized laser beam is discussed in this paper. A complete transition probability formula is introduced and the polarization properties of final photons are discussed for different conditions.

Dynamics of radiation scattering by particles of condensed phase in quasicontinuous laser irradiation of metals

Radiation scattering by particles of condensed phase in an ablation plasma plume has been experimentally studied during quasicontinuous laser irradiation (λ = 1.06 μm, q = 0.1–9 MW/cm², τ ∼ 1.5 msec) of duraluminum D16T, aluminum A99, and bismuth. The particle size distribution and the nature of their dispersal during irradiation was studied in scattered light (λ = 0.69 μm) from individual particles that could be visually observed on photographs. It was found that under the pressure developed in the plume, large particles ejected from the irradiated zone can move backward and return to the target (D16T). The plume (Bi) becomes brighter due to ablation of particles in the path of the laser beam. The directional scattering coefficients for scattering from the local zone on the axis of the plume, measured during the laser pulse, were used to study the relationship between the dynamics of entry of condensed phase into the plume, shielding of the target by the particles, and brightening of the plume under the action of the incident laser radiation. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 73, No. 2, pp. 210–219, March–April, 2006.     

任意椭圆偏振激光场非线性汤姆逊散射的一般表述与X射线产生的优化条件

基于相对论条件的电动力学,解析求解了任意椭圆偏振条件下激光场的非线性汤姆逊散射的一般表示.利用解析结果得到了背向非线性汤姆逊散射高次谐波的极值条件.结果表明对于基频背向汤姆逊散射,在相同条件下,圆偏振激光具有最大值而线偏振是最小值,如果激光偏振态从圆偏振连续的过渡到线偏振,背向汤姆逊散射的角功率随之单调递减.这一效应对高强度入射激光尤为重要,当 a² >5时,圆偏振情形的贡献几乎是线偏振的2倍.这对基于汤姆逊散射机制的X射线源实验研究具有重要参考意义. 关键词： 非线性汤姆逊散射 偏振度 极值     

On normalization of scattering matrices of polarized radiation

The condition of normalization of scattering matrix is derived when the polarized radiation is described by the Stokes parameters I, Q, U, V. The normalization of the matrix is based on energy conservation. It has a probabilistic meaning also. When the scattering particle is nonspherical, scattered radiation may depend not only on the angle between incident and scattered radiation but on orientation of the scattering plane also. In these cases, the known change of the Stokes parameters Q, U of the incident radiation with respect to various scattering planes influences the normalization. The derived normalization includes all elements of the first line of scattering matrix and the characteristics of polarization of the incident radiation. Dependence on this polarization is appeared because the polarization influences intensities of scattered radiation and, therefore, is included in energy conservation. The routine normalization includes the first element of the scattering matrix only. These two normalizations determine the different normalizing constants of the scattering matrix. The simple computational example of scattering by the particle that has the shape of a finite cylinder is considered. This example shows that the values of normalizing constants of the routine normalization may considerably differ from the ones of the obtained normalization. The results of the study may be useful in various investigations of radiation scattering, especially in the cases when the scattering particles are nonspherical.     

Determination of microphysical parameters of erythrocytes in human blood from laser radiation scattering

We have studied the sensitivity of the correlation between the unidirectional scattering coefficients β(θ) and the microphysical parameters of erythrocytes in human blood the number concentration (N) and the volume concentration (C_V), the modal radius (r), and the half-width (Δr) of the size distribution function of the erythrocytes, the real part of their refractive indices n) to variations of the latter in the ranges of their possible values at wavelengths λ = 0.3–1.2 μm. We have obtained the multiple regression equations for the microphysical parameters and β(θ) in the transparency window of blood (λ = 0.65 μm). We have shown that the procedure for determining the microphysical parameters, based on these equations, allows us to rapidly determine the microphysical parameters rapidly and highly accurately within their possible ranges. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 74, No. 5, pp. 652–658, September–October, 2007.     

Electron-sodium elastic scattering in the presence of strong non-resonant laser field

The elastic differential cross-section forē-Na scattering in the presence of non-resonant laser field is studied for the exchange ofℓ=0, 1, 2 photons. The undressed contribution is evaluated within the framework of the eikonal Born series approximation and the effect of exchange is taken into account via the Ochkur approximation. The sodium atom has been treated in the frozen core approximation with special attention to the effect of the dressing of the target by the laser field. The ‘dressing’ of the target leads to quite an increase in the cross-section over the ‘undressed’ value near the forward direction for the exchange of one or two photons.     

The reflection and scattering of light by a plant leaf

The spectral polarization characteristics of the visible radiation reflected and scattered by a plant leaf were investigated. Measurements of the spectral brightness coefficient, the directed reflection coefficients, and the degree and azimuth of polarization of radiation reflected from a leaf were performed at different angles of incidence of radiation on the leaf and different angles of observation. More than 500 measurements were performed for 36 samples. Maple (Acer platanoides) leaves from different trees were used as objects of investigation. Peculiarities of the mechanism of formation of the flux of radiation reflected from a plant leaf have been revealed. Belarussian State University, 4, F. Skorina Ave., Minsk, 220080, Belarus.

Small-angle neutron scattering study of dynamically polarized polyethylenes

We carried out a small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) study of dynamically polarized polyethylene (PE) samples doped with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO). The transmission of the PE with almost fully polarized neutrons (98.5%) increased with increasing the proton polarization, P. The incoherent scattering cross section decreased with increasing P. The effect of P on the polarized neutrons’ transmission and the incoherent scattering cross section agreed well with the theory. The q-dependence of the coherent scattering, which reflects a two-phase structure of PE composed of crystalline and amorphous domains, was kept unchanged by the proton polarization, but the intensity increased by a factor of 3 and 6 for P=+23% and −23%, respectively. The results mean that the contrast between the two phases was successfully enhanced by a dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) technique. However, the enhancement is only 1/13–1/16 of the enhancement calculated by assuming a homogeneous polarization through the PE sample. The discrepancy suggests that P in amorphous domains (25%) should be higher than that in crystalline domains (22%) by 3%, which in turn may suggest the partial depolarization of proton spins on the way of the spin diffusion from amorphous domains, where TEMPO radicals localize, to crystalline domains.     

Stimulated globular scattering of laser radiation in photonic crystals: Temperature dependences

The characteristics of stimulated globular scattering such as the frequency shift, threshold, and conversion efficiency are studied in photonic crystals (synthetic opal matrices and opal nanocomposites) at different temperatures. The results are compared with the study of stimulated Raman scattering in calcite single crystals. In both cases, a decrease in temperature from +20° C to −196° C resulted in an increase in the energy of stimulated scattering energy and its redistribution into the higher-order components.

研究了在动态光散射纳米颗粒测量中,光源的偏振态对测量结果的影响。采用了粒径为100nm、体积浓度为0.5%的标准颗粒作为样品,使He-Ne激光通过起偏器得到0°～180°方向的偏振光,测量了散射光强、偏振度和粒径测量值的变化,计算了相应的粒径均值偏差和标准差,并将这一结果与无偏振He-Ne激光入射进行了比较。结果表明,当入射光为线偏振光时,偏振方向垂直于散射面时测量效果最好;另一方面,由于颗粒系散射迭加造成的散射光偏振度降低,使线偏振光源与无偏振光源产生的散射光偏振度无明显差别,证明在测量中可以使用无偏振He-Ne激光代替。     

Multiple beam scattering effects in biological tissues exposed to laser radiation

Summary A mathematical model is presented for the computation of intensity of radiation in biological tissues irradiated by laser. The time-independent transport radiative equation is solved in terms of a Neumann series. Each term of the series is associated with a different order of magnitude of the internal-scattering effect. The importance of these effects has been recognized during the irradiation by ion-argon and ND: YAG laser used as coagulting or cutting instruments in surgery applications. Agreement is found with the single-scattering picture.
