Abstract

The scattering behavior of light waves from a collection of semisoft boundary particles is discussed. It is shown that the structural characteristics of the medium, i.e., the location of the particles, the effective width of each particle, and the boundary property of each particle, may play an important role in the distribution of the far-zone scattered spectral density. This result may have potential applications in the manipulation of scattered fields and in the measurement of structural characteristics of particulate media.
