Model-based light scattering spectroscopy (LSS) seemed a promising technique for in-vivo diagnosis of dysplasia in multiple organs. In the studies, the residual spectrum, the difference between the observed and modeled diffuse reflectance spectra, was attributed to single elastic light scattering from epithelial nuclei, and diagnostic information due to nuclear changes was extracted from it. We...

Monodispersed spherical aerosols of 0.26-2-micro diameter with approximate range of indexes of refraction of atmospheric aerosols have been produced in the laboratory by atomization of liquids with a vibrating capillary. Integrated light scattered 8 through 38 degrees from the direction of forward scattering has been measured with a photoelectric particle counter and compared to Mie theory calc...

To effectively estimate the influence of multiple scattering caused by haze particles on the misestimating of CO2 concentrations, it is necessary to understand the scattering properties of haze particles in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) wavelength range (~1.6μm) using satellite data. Due to the complexity of structures and components of haze particles, this paper investigates effects of particl...

T h e Hapke bidirectional reflectance model has been widely used for soil modeling, but gives significant errors when the soil scatters very strongly and anisotropically. In our new model, we decompose the radiation field into three components instead of two: single-scattering radiance, double-scattering radiance, and multiple-scattering radiance. The first two components can be exactly calcula...

Experimental studies of granular solids have shown that significant scattering effects restrict the accurate determination of material absorption in the terahertz (THz) region. The present work investigates the grain size dependent scattering contribution on the extinction spectra of Ammonium Nitrate, flour and salt between 0.2 to 1.2 THz using THz time-domain spectroscopy. The scattering contr...

In this paper, we combine experimental dark-field scattering spectroscopy and accurate electrodynamics calculations to investigate the scattering properties of two-dimensional plasmonic lattices based on the concept of aperiodic order. In particular, by discussing visible light scattering from periodic, Fibonacci, Thue-Morse and Rudin-Shapiro lattices fabricated by electron-beam lithography on ...

The scattering effects in the infrared (IR) spectra of single, isolated bread yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on a ZnSe substrate and in metal microchannels have been probed by Fourier transform infrared imaging microspectroscopy. Absolute extinction [(3.4±0.6)×10(-7) cm(2) at 3178 cm(-1)], scattering, and absorption cross sections for a single yeast cell and a vibrational absorption spe...

To study the interactions between Mie scattering and Raman emissions of spherical particles, we measured the Raman spectra together with the elastically scattered light of the excitation source of an evaporating aqueous sodium nitrate droplet. Resonance structures were observed in the temporal profiles of the elastically scattered light and Raman nitrate and water emissions. The resonance struc...

In scattering modeling of the snow cover individual snow particles are often assumed to be spherical and, depending on the frequency range, either Rayleigh approximation or Mie-scattering is used for the calculation of the phase matrix. However, the complex shapes of realistic snow crystals can have a significant effect on the scattering properties at higher frequencies, especially for the cros...
