Light-induced extinction originating from holographic scattering.

چکیده
We present extinction spectra of sodium nitroprusside exhibiting holographic light scattering after irradiation with coherent light. A characteristic extinction band appearing in the vicinity of the wavelength of the pump beam was discovered as well as an increase of the extinction coefficient over the whole spectral range. These features are proved to originate from diffraction of the probe beam from parasitic holograms and can be explained within the framework of a simple Ewald construction.

Laser-induced holographic light scattering in a liquid-crystalline azobenzene-containing polymer.
The holographic scattering phenomenon was observed and studied in detail for azobenzene-containing polymer system. It was found that irradiation of 25-μm-thick samples of the polymer with a single linearly polarized laser beam results in the appearance of a band with the maximum in the vicinity of irradiating wavelength in polarized extinction spectra. The band is completely polarized along the...
متن کاملLight scattering by cubical particle in the WKB approximation
In this work, we determined the analytical expressions of the form factor of a cubical particle in the WKB approximation. We adapted some variables (size parameter, refractive index, the scattering angle) and found the form factor in the approximation of Rayleigh-Gans-Debye (RGD), Anomalous Diffraction (AD), and determined the efficiency factor of the extinction. Finally, to illustrate our form...
متن کاملMethods for Real-Time, In Situ Measurement of Aerosol Light Absorption
Light extinction by aerosols is due to scattering and absorption. The anthropogenic contribution is generally dominated by light scattering by sulfate particles and light absorption by elemental carbon. While real-time, in situ instrumentation for the measurement of ambient light scattering exists and is widely used (i.e., nephelometers), no such instrumentation is currently in use for the sens...
متن کاملSimulation of Surface Plasmon Excitation in a Plasmonic Nano-Wire Using Surface Integral Equations
In this paper, scattering of a plane and monochromatic electromagnetic wave from a nano-wire is simulated using surface integral equations. First, integral equationsgoverning unknown fields on the surface is obtained based on Stratton-Cho surface integral equations. Then, the interaction of the wave with a non-plasmonic as well as a palsmonic nano-wire is considered. It is shown that in scatter...
متن کاملMeasurements of Light Extinction by Single Aerosol Particles.
A Bessel beam optical trap is combined with continuous wave cavity ringdown spectroscopy to measure the extinction cross section of individual aerosol particles. Particles, ∼1 μm in size, can be captured indefinitely and processes that transform size or refractive index studied. The measured light extinction induced by the particle is shown to depend on the position of the particle in the cavit...
