水中气泡上的体散射函数的模拟与计算

基于几何光学的基本原理,推导出一种可以计算水中大尺度气泡上光散射角度与强度的关系式。推导中避免引入衰减因子G,较Davis模型更为简单。该模型可应用于光在水中单个气泡上散射的数值计算。最后,模拟计算了平行光束入射水中气泡的体散射函数曲线,发现水中气泡的前向散射远大于后向散射;当气泡半径在远大于光波波长的前提下变化时,气泡上散射光强分布规律与气泡半径无关;而介质相对折射率的增大会削弱前向散射而增强后向散射光强。     

舰船尾流气泡层散射相位函数及其后向散射信号特性分析

根据实测舰船的尾流气泡分布模型,利用米氏理论计算得到尾流气泡层的散射相位函数,并将其应用于尾流气泡层后向散射光接收信号的Monte Carlo仿真分析中,以便为实际海况下的舰船尾流气泡层后向散射光探测的实验设置与信号预测、分析提供可靠的依据.通过对不同距离处尾流气泡层的散射相位函数及后向散射光接收信号特性的分析,可以得出:尾流中气泡层散射相位函数的变化小明显,且对接收信号的影响较小;气泡数密度的变化导致的多次散射效应和气泡层衰减系数的变化是引起后向散射光强度变化的主要原因,数密度越大,散射光信号中的多次散射光成分越大;当气泡层厚度达到一定倍数的衰减长度时,继续增加气泡层厚度对后向散射接收信号的影响较小.

Geometrical optics approximation for light scattering by absorbing spherical particles

By means of geometrical optics, an approximation method is presented to compute the light scattering intensity of absorbing spherical particles illuminated by a plane wave. For absorbing particles, the effective refractive index and the effective refractive angle are related to the complex refractive index and incident angle. The formulas for calculation of the break of phases of reflection and refraction, which are different from the case of transparent particles, are exactly derived. Verification of the geometrical optics approximation (GOA) was performed by case studies and comparison of the present results with the Mie scattering. It is found that agreement between the GOA and the Mie theory is excellent in forward directions for weakly/moderately absorbing particles. Differently, for strongly absorbing particles, good agreement between the calculation methods is in the forward directions and large scattering angles. The agreement between the GOA and the Mie theory is better for larger particles.     

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.      

Scattering by large bubbles: Comparisons between geometrical-optics theory and Debye series

The scattering patterns and optical properties of large spherical bubbles in water are calculated by both Geometrical-optics theory and Debye-series expansion of the Mie amplitudes. In the Geometrical-optics calculations, the wave-front spreading factor and phase information are all taken into consideration. A detailed comparison between the two methods is presented. It is found that scattering patterns calculated from the Geometrical-optics approach agree reasonably with those obtained by Debye series when the size parameter is larger than approximately 400. In the case of scattering properties, the Geometrical-optics method can produce reliable results with the Debye expansion for size parameters larger than approximately 50. The Geometrical-optics results without the phase interferences are also reliable, but it cannot display the oscillations and the ripple structure as a function of size parameter.

Super scattering phenomenon in active spherical nanoparticles

Localized surface electromagnetic resonances in spherical nanoparticles with gain are investigated by using the Mie theory. Due to the coupling between the gain and resonances, super scattering phenomenon is raised and the total scattering efficiency is increased by over six orders of magnitude. The dual frequency resonance induced by the electric dipole term of the particle is observed. The distributions of electromagnetic field and the Poynting vector around nanoparticles are provided for better understanding different multipole resonances. Finally, the scattering properties of active spherical nanoparticles are investigated when the sizes of nanoparticles are beyond the quasi-static limit. It is noticed that more highorder multipole resonances can be excited with the increase of the radius. Besides, all resonances dominated by multipole magnetic terms can only appear in dielectric materials.     

Monte Carlo simulation of light scattering from size distributed sub-micron spherical CdS particles in a volume element

Simulation of polarized light scattering by spherical particles having modal radius of 180 nm is presented in this paper. A Monte Carlo method which is based on the Stokes-Mueller formalism developed in ANSI Standard C-language is used for simulation. Single scattering is considered in our program with monodispersed sub-micron sized spherical CdS particles. We have considered only θ dependent scattering as described by Mie theory for spherical CdS particles. The experiments for studying light scattering properties of these particles were conducted in a designed and developed laser based light scattering studies setup. The simulation results were compared with experimental results and theoretical results obtained purely from Mie theory. The closeness of agreement or disagreement between these results is discussed in this paper.

Stability in Debye series calculation for light scattering by absorbing particles and bubbles

The Debye-series decomposition is of importance for understanding of light scattering features and for the validity of the geometrical optics approximation to light scattering. The numerical stability and accuracy for calculating light scattering with Debye series is studied and an improved algorithm is proposed in this work. The ratios of the Riccati-Bessel functions and the logarithmic derivatives of the Riccati-Bessel functions are employed and calculated with proper recurrences. Exemplifying results are provided to show the improvement of the algorithm.     

Mie scattering calculation by FDTD employing a modified Debye model for Gold material

The parameters calculation for the modified Debye model in the electromagnetic finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is discussed. Validation for the selected parameters is done comparing the FDTD results with the Mie analytical solutions of a gold nanometer sphere under an optical plane wave incidence. Good agreement with an average relative error 6.7% has been demonstrated as to total electrical field amplitudes on the surface of the gold sphere. It indicates FDTD could be adopted in the optical region for a material even with a negative real relative permittivity particularly as metals.     

Control of light scattering by nanoparticles with optically-induced magnetic responses

Conventional approaches to control and shape the scattering pattems of light generated by different nanostructures are mostly based on engineering of their electric response due to the fact that most metallic nanostructures support only electric resonances in the optical frequency range. Recently, fuelled by the fast development in the fields of metamaterials and plasmonics, artificial optically-induced magnetic responses have been demonstrated for various nanostructures. This kind of response can be employed to provide an extra degree of freedom for the efficient control and shaping of the scattering patterns of nanoparticles and nanoantennas. Here we review the recent progress in this research direction of nanoparticle scattering shaping and control through the interference of both electric and optically-induced magnetic responses. We discuss the magnetic resonances supported by various structures in different spectral regimes, and then summarize the original results on the scattering shaping involving both electric and magnetic responses, based on the interference of both spectrally separated （with different resonant wavelengths） and overlapped dipoles （with the same resonant wavelength）, and also other higher-order modes. Finally, we discuss the scattering control utilizing Fano resonances associated with the magnetic responses.
