Role of surface reflectivity in coherent backscattering measurements.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Surface reflectivity effects on coherent backscattering have been studied by using variable-reflectivity mirrors at the sample surface. Photon-transport parameters obtained from coherent backscattering were found to be significantly improved by using current theoretical models for samples with high surface reflectivity.

Anomalous Radar Backscatter from Titan’s Xanadu
Introduction and Summary: The comparison of an observed surface's microwave reflectivity and its passive emission directly addresses the relationship of the measured radar backscatter to the overall reflective properties of the surface. The simultaneous radiometry and radar reflectivity obtained by the Cassini Radar instrument has uniquely allowed us to investigate the backscattering enhancemen...
متن کاملDiscrimination of Geological Top-Formations by their Morphology through SAR Images and via Fractal Geometry implementation in IEM Backscattering Model(Case Study: Zagros Thrust Belt)
Morphological discrimination of geological top-formations is the supplemental procedure of geological mapping; so in situ measurements to register geomorphological data are unavoidable; though due to the impassable and fault cliffs field operations to visit all areas within a geological map is almost impossible. Microwave or radar remote sensing, via synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is cap...
متن کاملA note on Doppler processing of coherent radar backscatter from the water surface: With application to ocean surface wave measurements
[1] The technique for extracting wave period and wave direction from radar backscattering intensity is well developed, but the determination of spectral density or wave height is hindered by the complex nature of the modulation transfer function. In contrast to backscattering intensity, the Doppler signal of a coherent radar is originated from the radial velocity of the scattering objects. Its ...
متن کاملPhase Noise Considerations in Coherent Optical FMCW Reflectometry
phase noise, coherent reflectometry, FMCW, Rayleigh backscattering, fiberoptic interferometry An analysis of coherent optical FMCW is presented. It shows the limitations imposed on measurements of discrete reflections and of Rayleigh backscattering due to phase noise originating in the finite coherence length of the optical source. The dependence of the range for accurate measurements on partic...
متن کاملCoherent backscattering spectroscopy.
Coherent backscattering (CBS) of light in random media has been previously investigated by use of coherent light sources. Here we report a novel method of CBS measurement that combines low spatial coherence, broadband illumination, and spectrally resolved detection. We show that low spatial coherence illumination leads to an anomalously broad CBS peak and a dramatic speckle reduction; the latte...
