Spectral changes of light produced by scattering from disordered anisotropic media.

چکیده
We investigate theoretically changes in the spectrum of polychromatic light scattered by a disordered, birefringent medium. We derive an expression for the spectrum of scattered light for ordinary and extraordinary incident waves within the accuracy of the first Born approximation. Using this result, we analyze the changes in the spectrum of light due to the combined action of disorder and anisotropy in the scattering process.

Speckle-Based Spectrometer
The conventional spectrometers rely on one-to-one spectral-to-spatial mapping. Such mapping is necessary for a wavelength demultiplexer but not a spectrometer. Complex spectral to spatial mapping has been explored with disordered photonic crystals, thin scattering media, and random polychromat, for spectrometer application. The disorder-induced scattering of light produces wavelength-dependent ...
متن کاملEngineering of light confinement in strongly scattering disordered media.
Disordered photonic materials can diffuse and localize light through random multiple scattering, offering opportunities to study mesoscopic phenomena, control light-matter interactions, and provide new strategies for photonic applications. Light transport in such media is governed by photonic modes characterized by resonances with finite spectral width and spatial extent. Considerable steps hav...
متن کاملPolarization and spatial coherence of electromagnetic waves in uncorrelated disordered media
Spatial field correlation functions represent a key quantity for the description of mesoscopic phenomena in disordered media and the optical characterization of complex materials. Yet many aspects related to the vector nature of light waves have not been investigated so far. We study theoretically the polarization and coherence properties of electromagnetic waves produced by a dipole source in ...
متن کاملBright-White Beetle Scales Optimise Multiple Scattering of Light
Whiteness arises from diffuse and broadband reflection of light typically achieved through optical scattering in randomly structured media. In contrast to structural colour due to coherent scattering, white appearance generally requires a relatively thick system comprising randomly positioned high refractive-index scattering centres. Here, we show that the exceptionally bright white appearance ...
متن کاملVelocity Modeling in a Vertical Transversely Isotropic Medium Using Zelt Method
In the present paper, the Zelt algorithm has been extended for ray tracing through an anisotropic model. In anisotropic media, the direction of the propagated energy generally differs from that of the plane-wave propagation. This makes velocity values to be varied in different directions. Therefore, velocity modeling in such media is completely different from that in an isotropic media. The vel...
