Coherent backscattering of turbid samples containing large Mie spheres
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Magnetic-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 کاملComparison of the 'glory' with coherent backscattering of light in turbid media
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 phenom...
متن کاملBackscattering of circularly polarized pulses.
Using numerical simulations of vector radiative transport, we examine time-resolved backscattering of circularly polarized plane waves normally incident upon a slab containing a random distribution of latex spheres in water. For large spheres the effect of polarization memory occurs a short time after first-order scattering and before depolarization. It is the result of successive near-forward-...
متن کاملElectric 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 کاملControllable transport mean free path of light in xerogel matrixes embedded with polystyrene spheres.
Xerogel matrices, made by sol-gel techniques, are embedded with polystyrene spheres to promote multiple scattering of light. Varying the concentration of the spheres inside the matrix allows one to adjust the transport mean free path of light inside the material. Coherent backscattering measurements show that a range of transport mean free paths from 90 to 600 nm is easily achieved. The determi...
