Light scattering on random dielectric layers

Scattering of light by a random stack of dielectric layers represents a one-dimensional scattering problem, where the scattered field is a three-dimensional vector field. We investigate the dependence of the scattering properties (band gaps and Anderson localization) on the wavelength, strength of randomness and relative angle of the incident wave. There is a characteristic angular dependence of Anderson localization for wavelengths close to the thickness of the layers. In particular, the localization length varies non-monotonously with the angle. In contrast to Anderson localization, absorptive layers do not have this characteristic angular dependence.     

Light scattering on nanowire antennas: A semi-analytical approach

Two semi-analytical approaches to solve the problem of light scattering on nanowire antennas are developed and compared. The derivation is based on the exact solution of the plane wave scattering problem in case of an infinite cylinder. The original three-dimensional problem is reduced in two alternative ways to a simple one-dimensional integral equation, which can be solved numerically by a method of moments approach. Scattering cross sections of gold nanowire antennas with different lengths and aspect ratios are analyzed for the optical and near-infrared spectral range. Comparison of the proposed semi-analytical methods with the numerically rigorous discrete dipole approximation method demonstrates good agreement as well as superior numerical performance.     

Light scattering studies of oleic acid under high pressure

Abstract

Elastic light scattering of oleic acid has been studied at room temperature and at pressures up to 0.5 GPa, where the strong scattering of radiation in the visible region occurs. For the application of pressure above 0.21 GPa the strong increase of the scattered light intensity has been observed some seconds after an application of pressure. More detailed analysis shows that Me theory is not sufficient to explain experimental results for size of Scattering particle greater than 18 μm.     

Light scattering by needle-type and disk-type particles

A powerful tool to analyze light scattering by 3D arbitrary-shaped homogeneous or inhomogeneous obstacles located in free space is based on volume integral equation. In this paper we apply a weak form of volume integral equation to simulate light scattering by needle- and disk-type particles such as straight and curved cylinders, cylindrical plate and hexagonal prism with high aspect ratio and low and high values of refractive indexes. For problems where discrete sources method could be applied, we calculated differential scattering cross-section using both methods and got excellent agreement in results.

Light scattering by complex ice-analogue crystals

Angle-dependent light-scattering measurements on single ice analogues crystals are described. Phase functions and degree of linear polarization are measured for electrodynamically levitated crystals. A procedure for randomizing particle orientation during levitation is demonstrated. The dependence of scattering on the shape, complexity and surface roughness of the crystals is examined. The phase functions from complex crystals with smooth surfaces show little dependence on shape. There is close agreement between the measured functions and the analytic phase function for ice clouds. However, rosettes with rough surfaces have qualitatively different phase functions, with raised side and back scattering. The asymmetry parameter is typically about 0.8±0.04 and 0.63±0.05 for smooth and rough crystals, respectively. The 22° halo peak is present for smooth rosettes and aggregates but absent for rough rosettes. Two-dimensional scattering patterns from several crystals in fixed orientations are also shown. The results suggest that it may be possible to use such patterns to discriminate not only between crystals of different shape but also to obtain some information on surface properties.     

Light scattering studies of the ion acoustic instability in a positive column plasma

Light scattering is used to study the amplitude, spectrum, and angular distribution of the saturated state of the ion acoustic instability in a He positive column plasma. The ion acoustic waves are driven unstable by the electron current in the column. The properties of the saturated state are studied as a function of the concentration of hydrogen impurities which are found to be present in positive column plasmas. At concentrations of a few percent, the hydrogen ions can cause linear wave damping. Their role in saturating the instability by nonlinear processes is studied by varying the hydrogen concentration.     

Light scattering by some nematic liquid crystals due to phase transitions

New computer modelling of light scattering and its propagation through liquid crystal has been presented using T-matrix method in the structural phase transition regions. Numerical aspects of light scattering process, which are based on numerically solving Maxwell's equations, were calculated for some nematic liquid crystals. Firstly, we described in detail T-matrix method for computing light scattering from nematic liquid crystals and presented results of benchmark computations for the considered model. We reported results of extensive calculations for polydisperse, randomly oriented rod-like multilayered systems (nematic liquid crystals). Our results are associated with light scattering by ferroelectric and ferroelastic materials.     

Different shape models for erythrocyte: Light scattering analysis based on the discrete sources method

In practical applications a precise and fast detection of the shape of a single erythrocyte from its scattering characteristics is needed. For this reason detailed investigations of light scattering properties of erythrocyte and their relation to shape is of great interest in recent years. In this paper we analyze light scattering behavior of different shape models of erythrocyte using the discrete sources method. For this we compare scattering results for oblate spheroid, disk-sphere, Cassini-based shape and a shape for a real strainless erythrocyte introduced by Skalak. Numerical results for the scattering indicatrix and the differential cross section by different shape models and its orientations are presented.     

Light scattering by aggregates of varying porosity and the opposition phenomena observed in the low-albedo particulate media

The rule that the opposition phenomena in brightness and linear polarization observed in many regolith surfaces usually accompany each other is violated in the cases of very dark asteroids and particulate samples: practically no nonlinear surge of brightness to opposition is observed while the branch of negative polarization at small phase angles exists. To explain this fact, we model the light scattering by particulate media with ensembles of spherical particles (with size comparable to the wavelength) of varying packing density and refractive index. The superposition T-matrix method is used. The increase in the absorption and/or packing density diminishes the amplitude of the brightness opposition peak, and its profile becomes wider. The influence on the branch of negative polarization is more complex and depends on the relation between the size parameters of the constituents, the refractive index, and the porosity. However, the feature common to all considered cases is that the negative branch changes its shape and the polarization minimum moves to the inversion point. This behavior radically differs from that observed in nonabsorbing ensembles of particles and reflects the fact that the efficiency of the coherent backscattering, which mainly determines these characteristics in nonabsorbing ensembles (to the packing density of about 30%), decreases. Moreover, since the angular profiles are not simply damped, but the polarization minimum changes its angular position, we may conclude that the near-field interaction of the constituents becomes important: the shielding of particles by each other eliminates many constituents from the scattering and the near-field effects promote the negative polarization and smooth the backscattering brightness surge. Due to this, when the packing density exceeds 10-20%, the opposition phenomena in absorbing ensembles are caused not only by the coherent backscattering, and situations, when the opposition brightness surge is practically suppressed, but the negative branch of polarization still survives, are possible. This may explain the fact that the dark regolith surfaces show no brightness opposition effect, but produce the branch of negative polarization with the minimum shifted from opposition.

Light scattering by fluffy particles with the PROGRA experiment: Mixtures of materials

The PROGRA² experiment is specifically designed to measure the linear polarization of the light scattered by clouds of particles. The imaging method allows us to obtain maps of polarization and to measure the size distribution and the number density of the particles in the field of view. This work presents a systematic study of highly porous (fluffy) aggregates with submicron-sized constituent grains lifted by an air-draught. The main materials are silica and carbon. The maximum in polarization mainly depends on the average size of the constituent grains. The results, mainly concerned with the negative branch of the phase curves, the maximum polarization, the color effect and the albedo are compared with cometary observations and discussed in terms of physical properties.     

Light scattering by “soft” particles of arbitrary shape and size: II—Arbitrary orientation of particles in the space

In this part of the article a new version analysis of light scattering by “soft” particles is presented that makes it possible to reduce and simplify the process of numerical calculations. The calculation results of the integral scattering cross-sections and indicatrices for spheroid, parallelepiped and cylinder for their arbitrary orientation in space are given as an illustration. The results are accompanied by transparent physical interpretations, based on the examination of the contour graphs of the three-dimensional spectra of particles.     

Light scattering by large Saharan dust particles: Comparison of modeling and experimental data for two samples

Light scattering by large mineral-dust particles with small-scale surface roughness is investigated by comparing model simulations with laboratory-measured scattering matrices of two distinct dust samples collected from the Sahara desert. The samples have been chosen on the basis of their large effective radii, and the simulations are based on their measured size distributions. Size parameters larger than about 30 are modeled using a modified ray-optics model RODS (Ray optics with diffuse and specular interactions), while smaller particles are simulated with a T-matrix model. RODS allows us to mimic the surface roughness of large dust particles by covering the particle surface by a thin layer of external scatterers with specific single-scattering properties. The Gaussian-random-sphere geometry is used for the shapes of large dust particles. Small particles are modeled as an axial-ratio distribution of spheroids with smooth surfaces. One of the samples consists wholly of large particles and its scattering matrix can be reproduced very well by the RODS model, except for the phase function. The incorporation of wavelength-scale roughness is, however, necessary for good fits. The other sample, consisting of both small and large particles, proves more challenging to match with simulations. The analysis indicates, however, that the difficulties arise at least partially from the small-particle contribution, while RODS results are consistent with the measurements. Further, the results imply that the agreement with measurements would improve if roughness could also be accounted for in the small-particle simulations. Overall, the RODS method seems promising for modeling the optical properties of mineral-dust particles much larger than the wavelength.     

Laser beam scattering effects in non-absorbent inhomogenous polymers

In this paper a numerical model for laser beam scattering in the semi-transparent polymers is presented, using a Monte Carlo algorithm and the Mie theory. The algorithm correctly accounts for the independent multiply-scattered light. We describe the algorithm, present a number of important parameters that account in the welding process, and explicitly show how the algorithm can be used to estimate the laser beam intensity both inside the semi-transparent component and at the welding interface and the beam widening. For the model validation an experimental bench test has been realized and some results from two test cases are presented.     

Light scattering in monatomic dense gases from a kinetic model of the Enskog equation

The light scattering spectra of dense monatomic gases are determined from a kinetic model of the Enskog equation in which the reference distribution function is a function of the gradients of velocity and temperature. A good agreement between the theoretical and experimental light scattering spectra is found for values of the pressure going from 0.022 to 10 atm, which correspond to the free molecular and hydrodynamic regimes, respectively.
