Extinction by Dielectric Particles at Optical and Infrared Wavelengths.
Abstract
Calculations for metal prolate spheroidal particles show that enhanced fields can occur even when the particles are a significant fraction of a wavelength in size. Analysis of the information content of the Mueller Matrix has shown that signal processing techniques can be used to extract the particle volume and axial ratio from the polarized angular scattering. The exact scattering solution for coupled parallel fibers has permitted an investigation of the onset of multiple scattering as a function of fiber spacing. Calculations for a size/shape spheroidal distribution of soil particles are shown to fit measured results better than a simple spherical distribution. (Author)
