Topics in Particle and Dispersion Science

Literature survey: 01 March 2007

• Light scattering
  • backward
    • Use of circularly polarized backscattered light to determine scattering, anisotropy factor, and absorption of a highly scattering medium (Xu M et al 2007)
      • See also: Johnson M (1998) on remote turbidity measurements.
    • Dark rings in reflectance distribution for forward scattering media: importance of the large-angle scattering (Campbell SD et al 2007a)
  • Rainbows from inhomogeneous transparent spheres: a ray optics approach (Adam and Laven 2007)
• Optical imaging in turbid media at sub-millimeter resolution (Andreoni A et al 2007)
• Optical resonances of a microsphere coated with a layer of a high refractive index (Teraoka and Arnold 2007)
• Particle characterization
  • Sizing monodisperse microspheres by using Fourier transform of the backscattering spectrum (Scaffardi LB et al 2007, Videla FA et al 2006)
  • PSD from light-scattering patterns: comparison of three inversion methods (Vargas-Ubera J et al 2007)
• Pulse propagation
  • in water
    • Deviations from Lambert law for femtoseconds-long pulses (Li JC et al 2007, Fox and Österberg 2006, Gibson and Österberg 2005)
      See also Lambert law, deviations from
  • in a dispersion of spheres
    • Polarization of light backscattered by a slab changes direction after a few near-axis scattering events (Sakami and Dogariu 2006; vector radiative transfer equation).
      See also Bruscaglioni P et al (1993) on modeling of polarized pulse propagation with a Monte Carlo method, and Zaccanti G et al (1992) on detectable number of near-axis photon trajectories.
• Radiative transfer
  • in ocean water: average penetration depth of a photon flux in a fixed time interval (Kirk JTO 2007)
  • Regimes along the beam axis in turbid medium: comparison with single-scattering and light diffusion theories (Campbell SD et al 2006)
