This 4th volume of LIGHT SCATTERING REVIEWS is devoted to modern
knowledge and milestones in both experimental and theoretical
techniques related to light scattering and radiative transport
problems. It consists of 3 chapters comprising 12 contributions
written by leading world experts in their respective fields. The
general focus of the book is on single light scattering and
radiative transfer. The three chapters are devoted to experimental
studies in the optics of light scattering media.
The first chapter consists of three parts: In the first part,
the main properties of scattering matrices are presented in a
systematic way, together with polarimetric decomposition theorems
in a great detail. The Green s function techniques for plane wave
scattering by nonspherical particles is introduced in the second
part. Different conceptual advantages and disadvantages of various
numerical schemes developed in the past for the calculation of
light scattering and absorption properties of small particles are
discussed. The chapter concludes with studies of representations of
the rotation group and T-matrix methods as applied for the
calculation of optical properties of small particles with various
habits.
The second chapter of the book describes recent results in the
broad area of forward and inverse problems of the radiative
transfer. The first paper surveys techniques for theoretical
studies of light scattering and polarization of molecular
atmosphere. The application of time-dependent radiative transfer
equation for cloud remote sensing and the peculiarities of
radiative transfer of fluorescent and bioluminescent light in
biological tissues are then considered, together with the
importance of optical imaging in clinical and pre-clinical
applications. The applications of the linearized radiative transfer
equation and inverse problems for a particular case of the
spherical atmosphere are included.
The final chapter of the book covers recent advances in the
experimental studies in the field of light scattering media optics.
The instruments, measurements, and data processing used in
experimental studies of optical properties of small particles using
an imaging technique are extensively described before a study of
aerosols in a controlled environment using static and dynamic light
scattering. The book ends with a description of advances in dynamic
light scattering techniques.
This fourth volume gives a valuable picture of recent
developments in the areas of single light scattering, radiative
transfer in particulate media (e.g., terrestrial atmosphere and
tissues), and inverse problems for multiple scattering media. It
will further facilitate studies in light scattering media optics
and aid researchers across various scientific fields, including
astronomy, meteorology, biophysics, medical optics and
geophysics."
