Effective refractive index of drying droplet of water fullerene suspension
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laser light scattering by a drying droplet of water fullerene suspension several micrometers in size was studied. Two light wavelengths were used. The evolution of refractive index and radius of the droplet was investigated. Resonant scattering was identified and analyzed. Some conclusions were drawn on the microscopic properties of the suspension. Supplementing measurements of samples obtained by drying the water fullerene suspension and toluene solution were conducted with Atomic Force Microscope (AFM).

Light scattering by microdroplets of water and water suspensions
We investigated elastic light scattering on isolated evaporating droplets of radius between 1 and 20 μm. The droplets were either pure water or a water based suspension, they carried electric charge and were contained in an electrodynamic trap. The evolution of the trapped droplet was investigated by means of scatterometry. A numerical model of such evolution, incorporating the kinetic effects ...

In this paper, an experimental setup is used to measure the temperature dependence of the refractive index of a water phantom. In radiation calorimetry by laser beams and interferometric systems, the amount of change induced by radiation within the phantom can be accurately measured. Absorption of dose and the resulted change in temperature changes the refractive index within the material. In o...

In this paper we investigate focusing properties of graded index (GRIN) photonic crystal (PC) structures which are composed of different materials with different refractive indices. GRIN PC structure is constructed from air holes in dielectric background. The holes radii are varied in the normal direction to the propagation in such a way that a parabolic effective refractive index is produced. ...
متن کاملMeasurement and comparison of the temperature-dependence of refractive index of water and Plexiglas phantoms by interferometry method for their use in optical calorimetry
In radiation calorimetry by using laser beams and interferometry setups, variations induced by dose absorption in phantom can be precisely measured. Dose absorption and the induced temperature change result in refractive index variation of the material. In order to be able to measure the low amount of absorbed dose in the phantom, temperature dependence of refractive index of the material must ...
