Strong far-field coherent scattering of ultraviolet radiation by holococcolithophores.

چکیده
By considering the structure of holococcoliths (calcite plates that cover holococcolithophores, a haploid phase of the coccolithophore life cycle) as a photonic structure, we apply a discrete dipolar approximation to study the light backscattering properties of these algae. We show that some holococcolith structures have the ability to scatter the ultraviolet radiation. This property may represent an advantage for holococcolithophores possessing it, by allowing them to live higher in the water column than other coccolithophores.

Coherent extreme ultraviolet light amplification by strong-field-enhanced forward scattering.
We theoretically study the response of He atoms exposed simultaneously to an intense IR pulse and a weak extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulse with photon energies far from the principal atomic He resonances. We find that XUV forward scattering from the nonstationary electronic wave packet promoted by the intense IR driving field is strongly enhanced as compared with the normal weak scattering from b...
متن کاملGeneration of coherent and tunable ultraviolet radiation by scattering processes
Tunable, coherent radiation in the ultraviolet region has been generated by stimulated Raman scattering, by anti-Stokes Raman lasers, and by frequency-mixing processes based on nonlinear polarizabilities of atomic and molecular systems. Present progress in the development of these laser-driven sources is reviewed, with examples of available systems and their characteristics. Applications in spe...
متن کاملAcquiring molecular interference functions of X-ray coherent scattering for breast tissues by combination of simulation and experimental methods
Background: Recently, it has been indicated that X-ray coherent scatter from biological tissues can be used to access signature of tissue. Some scientists are interested in studying this effect to get early detection of breast cancer. Since experimental methods for optimization are time consuming and expensive, some scientists suggest using simulation. Monte Carlo (MC) codes are the best...
متن کاملFar-field radiation pattern in Coherent Anti-stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) Microscopy
Far field radiation pattern under tight focusing condition is investigated in Coherent Anti-stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) microscopy both in the forward (F-CARS) and backward (E-CARS) directions. While we assume no refraction index mismatch between the sample and the environing medium, our rigorous numerical electromagnetic computation takes into account the exact polarizations of the excitati...
متن کاملCalculation the phantom scatter factor for the linear accelerators device
Introduction: In the last few decades, a lot of monte carlo codes have been introduced for medical applications. this is important because through simulation, we are fully independent of the spectral scattering factor that we are not able measure in real terms. The effect of the radiation energy, the dimension of the radiation field, the sensitive volume of the ion chamber on t...
