Collective Rayleigh scattering from dielectric particles

Superfluorescent rayleigh scattering from suspensions of dielectric particles.

We demonstrate that superfluorescent scattering of light can occur when laser light is incident on a collection of dielectric Rayleigh particles suspended in a viscous medium. Using a linear stability analysis, an expression for the spatiotemporal evolution of the scattered (probe) field is derived. An approximate condition for the progression of the interaction into the nonlinear regime is ded...

Measuring Mie Scattering from Ionized, Trapped Dielectric Particles

Scattering by Small Thin Dielectric Particles

In the analysis of electromagnetic scattering by distributions of small dielectric particles an approximation to the scattered field can be obtained by representing the electrical interaction of the particles in terms of the dipole moments of the individual particles. The calculation of the moments necessitates the solution of certain static scattering problems, and this becomes numerically dif...

Cavity-modified collective Rayleigh scattering of two atoms.

We report on the observation of cooperative radiation of exactly two neutral atoms strongly coupled to the single mode field of an optical cavity, which is close to the lossless-cavity limit. Monitoring the cavity output power, we observe constructive and destructive interference of collective Rayleigh scattering for certain relative distances between the two atoms. Because of cavity backaction...

Rayleigh scattering from pivalic acid

2014 Both the polarized and depolarized spectra of Rayleigh scattering from pivalic acid have been measured with high precision. The relaxation time for molecular reorientation and the energy of activation are deduced directly from these measurements for both the liquid and plastic phases of the crystal.
