Circular differential scattering of polarized light by a chiral random medium
Differential scattering of leftand right-handed circularly polarized waves is a general property of scattering media lacking space-inversion symmetry. We show in this paper that this scattering difference has remarkable properties in the case of an almost transparent chiral random medium. By tuning the refractive indices of the materials composing the medium, this scattering difference can be v...
متن کاملScattering of Polarized Light in Optically Active Turbid Medium
We studied optical properties of polarized light scattered off a turbid medium. Based on the experimental setup, and using Muller calculus, we developed a model that provided us with optical information of the scattered light like amount of surviving linear polarization and optical rotation of the light after scattering. The scattered light was detected laterally, perpendicular to the direction...
متن کاملImaging Reconstruction for Light Scattering from a Tenuous Random Medium
We consider the basis for describing strong scattering in terms of diffusive processes based on the diffusion equation. Intermediate strength scattering is then considered in terms of a fractional diffusion equation which is studied using results from fractional calculus. This approach is justified in terms of the generalization of a random walk model with no statistical bias in the phase to a ...
متن کاملChiral templating of self-assembling nanostructures by circularly polarized light.
The high optical and chemical activity of nanoparticles (NPs) signifies the possibility of converting the spin angular momenta of photons into structural changes in matter. Here, we demonstrate that illumination of dispersions of racemic CdTe NPs with right- (left-)handed circularly polarized light (CPL) induces the formation of right- (left-)handed twisted nanoribbons with an enantiomeric exce...
متن کاملCoherent Backscattering of Circularly Polarized Light from a Disperse Random Medium
To describe propagation of polarized electromagnetic wave within a disperse random medium a new Monte Carlo based technique with an adopted vector formalism has been developed. The technique has been applied for simulation of coherent backscattering of circularly polarized optical radiation from a random scattering medium. It has been found that the sign of helicity of circular polarized light ...
