Comparison of the 'glory' with coherent backscattering of light in turbid media
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 'glory' results from light scattering of single, sub-millimetre to millimetre-sized spheres in the exact backscattering direction. The so-called coherent backscattering by disordered media is the intensity enhancement in the very same direction due to the interference between each light path and its reversed path. This pair of paths always exists in multiple-scattering media. The two phenomena have very similar properties, which will be studied and compared in more detail, experimentally as well as by numerical calculations.

Electric field Monte Carlo simulation of coherent backscattering of polarized light by turbid medium
A method for directly simulating coherent backscattering of polarized light by a turbid medium has been developed based on the Electric field Monte Carlo (EMC) method. Electric fields of light traveling in a pair of time-reversed paths are added coherently to simulate their interference. An efficient approach for computing the electric field of light traveling along a time-reversed path is deri...
متن کاملTwo electric field Monte Carlo models of coherent backscattering of polarized light.
Modeling of coherent polarized light propagation in turbid scattering medium by the Monte Carlo method provides an ultimate understanding of coherent effects of multiple scattering, such as enhancement of coherent backscattering and peculiarities of laser speckle formation in dynamic light scattering (DLS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) diagnostic modalities. In this report, we consider...
متن کاملConservation of energy in coherent backscattering of light
Although conservation of energy is fundamental in physics, its principles seem to be violated in the field of wave propagation in turbid media by the energy enhancement of the coherent backscattering cone. In this letter we present experimental data which show that the energy enhancement of the cone is balanced by an energy cutback at all scattering angles. Moreover, we give a theoretical descr...
متن کاملMagnetic-field effects on coherent backscattering of light in case of Mie spheres
– Magneto-optical Faraday rotation destroys the coherent backscattering enhancement of elastically multiple scattered light. In addition, Faraday rotation has been predicted, especially for Mie scattering, to cause a shift of the coherent backscattering cone off the exact backscattering direction in case of circular polarized light, or a twin peak in case of linear polarization (see Lenke R. an...
متن کاملCoherent backscattering of turbid samples containing large Mie spheres
We found that the coherent backscattering cone of turbid samples containing spherical Mie scatterers with a size parameter larger than about 20 strongly deviates from known analytical curve shapes. We compare experimental data with numerical simulations of Monte Carlo type. Moreover, we present a new wide-angle coherent backscattering set-up.
