Rayleigh scattering by dielectric bodies

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...

TM Electromagnetic Scattering from Multilayered Dielectric Bodies – Numerical Solution

An integral equation approach is derived for an electromagnetic scattering from an M multilayered dielectric domain. The integral equation is valid for 2D and 3D Helmholtz equation. Here we show the numerical solution for the 2D case by using the Nyström method. For validating the method we develop a mode matching method for the case when the domains are multilayered circular cylinders and give...

Intracavity power measurement by Rayleigh scattering.

by Liou in Fig. 8 of Ref. 4, namely, elevation angle e = 60°, wavelength X = 0.7 yum, mode radius am = 4 Aim, and refractive index m = 1.310. The phase functions P(O,4) are not normalized and are shown as a function of the scattering angle 0 in different 4)-planes. The azimuthally averaged phase function is also shown by the solid line. One of the prominent differences between the present phase...

Enhanced Raman scattering by dielectric spheres

A phenomenon of local field enhancement by dielectric spheres is reviewed. Interaction with surface plasmon polariton of metal substrate is discussed. Especially, a system of a two-dimensional array of spheres placed on a flat substrate is discussed in detail. The obtained features of the resonance modes are shown to be quite general and various possibilities for the application in non-linear o...
