Focused Acoustical and Optical Backscattering from Spheres and Properties of Optoacoustic Sources.

Abstract

This report consists of publications and preprints on topics related to acoustical and optical scattering and to laser optoacoutic sources of sound. The emphasis of Papers 1 and 2 is on the understanding of the enhanced backscattering from spheres associated with axial focusing. The emphasis on Paper 3 is on the modeling of certain cross-polarization and copolarization effects due to the scattering of laser light from small bubbles in water or from fog.
