Single fiber light scattering matrix: an experimental determination

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The entire light scattering matrix is experimentally determined for two fused silica cylinders illuminated at normal incidence (λ441.6 nm). Radii of 0.960 ± 0.002 and 3.091 ± 0.003 μm are determined by comparison with Mie theory indicating that micron-sized fiber radii can be determined to within a few nanometers by polarized light scattering techniques. The single fiber provides a good calibration source for polarization nephalometers, being free from problems inherent with spheres in solution. The fiber is a well-known geometry which is amenable to perturbation toward irregular shapes, and as such it provides the starting point for studying scattering from irregular particles.
