  • Stimulated Brillouin Scattering: Fundamentals and Applicationsby M J Damzen

    CRC Press 2003; US$ 129.95

    The focus of this text is the underlying physics of stimulted brillouin scattering, much of which will be applicable to other fields of research including, to some extent, plasma physics. Reference to experimental details will be given throughout. more...

  • Modeling Fluctuations in Scattered Wavesby Eric Jakeman; Kevin D. Ridley

    Taylor & Francis 2003; US$ 119.95

    Fluctuations in scattered waves limit the performance of imaging and remote sensing systems operating at all wavelengths of the EM spectrum and also those using sound waves. This book discusses the mathematical models that can be used to characterize such fluctuations, so that intelligent choices can be made for system analysis and the development of new techniques. Properties and applications of the models are illustrated with experimental results, and techniques of numerical simulation are described. The book contains detailed description of the numerical simulations used to describe models, allowing readers to use these to evaluate and improve upon the performance of their own systems. more...

  • Light Scattering by Optically Soft Particlesby Subodh K. Sharma; David J. Sommerford

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 169.00

    The present monograph deals with a particular class of approximation methods in the context of light scattering by small particles. This class of approximations has been termed as eikonal or soft particle approximations. The eikonal approximation was studied extensively in the potential scattering and then adopted in optical scattering problems. In this context, the eikonal and other soft particle approximations pertain to scatterers whose relative refractive index compared to surrounding medium is close to unity. The study of these approximations is very important because soft particles occur abundantly in nature. For example, the particles that occur in ocean optics, biomedical optics, atmospheric optics and in many industrial applications... more...

  • Light Scattering Reviewsby Alexander A. Kokhanovsky

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 239.00

    Consists of 3 chapters with 10 contributions. The first chapter is devoted to the study of light scattering by a single particle. The second chapter is aimed at the investigation of multiple light scattering and radiative transfer. The last chapter is devoted to the applications of light scattering techniques in combustion and marine research. more...

  • Light Scattering by Particles in Waterby Miroslaw Jonasz; Georges Fournier

    Elsevier 2007; US$ 104.00

    Light scattering-based methods are used to characterize small particles suspended in water in a wide range of disciplines ranging from oceanography, through medicine, to industry. The scope and accuracy of these methods steadily increases with the progress in light scattering research. This book focuses on the theoretical and experimental foundations of the study and modeling of light scattering by particles in water and critically evaluates the key constraints of light scattering models. It begins with a brief review of the relevant theoretical fundamentals of the interaction of light with condensed matter, followed by an extended discussion of the basic optical properties of pure water and seawater and the physical principles that explain... more...

  • Light Scattering by Nonspherical Particlesby Michael I. Mishchenko; Joachim W. Hovenier; Larry D. Travis

    Elsevier 1999; US$ 225.00

    There is hardly a field of science or engineering that does not have some interest in light scattering by small particles. For example, this subject is important to climatology because the energy budget for the Earth's atmosphere is strongly affected by scattering of solar radiation by cloud and aerosol particles, and the whole discipline of remote sensing relies largely on analyzing the parameters of radiation scattered by aerosols, clouds, and precipitation. The scattering of light by spherical particles can be easily computed using the conventional Mie theory. However, most small solid particles encountered in natural and laboratory conditions have nonspherical shapes. Examples are soot and mineral aerosols, cirrus cloud particles, snow... more...

  • Light Scattering Reviews 3by Alexander Kokhanovsky

    Springer 2008; US$ 189.00

    This will be the 3rd volume of a a oeLight Scattering Reviewsa series devoted to current knowledge of light scattering problems and both experimental and theoretical research techniques related to their solution. This volume will cover applications in remote sensing, inverse problems and geophysics, with a particular focus on terrestrial clouds. Clouds have an extremely complex structure and their influence on climate is poorly understood. Therefore, studies of clouds using ground-based, airborne, shipborne and satellite optical instrumentation are of great importance. The theoretical aspects of this problem constitute the main emphasis of this work. more...

  • Light Scattering from Polymer Solutions and Nanoparticle Dispersionsby Wolfgang Schärtl

    Springer 2007; US$ 129.00

    Light scattering is a very powerful method to characterize the structure of polymers and nanoparticles in solution. This book provides information on the complicated topic of light scattering from polymers and nanoparticles in dilute solution, and also intends to cover some of the technical developments in experimental light scattering. more...

  • Light Scattering in Solids, 9by Manuel Cardona; Roberto Merlin

    Springer 2007; US$ 239.00
