| Mie theory: Optical resonances and polydispersions | Prev topic | Next topic |
In measurements of light scattering by polydispersions, where the scattered light patterns are averaged over many different particles, the fine structure and resonances may be substantially suppressed (for example, Szymanski et al 1982, La Mer and Barnes 1946 - the latter work being probably the first to identify the role of polydispersity in suppressing the fine structure in light scattering by dispersions). Moderate smoothing of resonances for quasi-monodisperse suspensions has been used by Lettieri and Marx (1986) to determine the average diameter of the particles as well as its variance.
