| Scattering phase matrix | Prev topic | Next topic |
By analogy to the scattering phase function, one can define a scattering phase matrix as follows:
| p(ξ) = β(ξ) / b | (1) |
where β is a matrix form of the volume scattering function (Eq. 3 in Scattering matrix for a dispersion), ξ is the unit vector of a direction in space, which, for an axisymmetric scattering medium can be represented by the scattering angle, θ, and b is the scattering coefficient. The element p11 of the phase matrix is the phase function for unpolarized light, with the normalization condition expressed by Eq. 2 in Phase function.
