چکیده

We consider the propagation of a diffusive wave in a scattering medium submitted to a homogeneous expansion. The light multiply scattered by a glass spheres sample is measured. We analyze the variations of the scattered light when the material and the optical wavelength are dilated. We experimentally show that an isotropic expansion of the material is equivalent to a contraction of the wavelength. Moreover, the effect of an expansion of the material on the scattered wave may be canceled by a proportional increase of the wavelength, keeping the phase of the scattered wave unchanged. Applications to the characterization of deformation of disordered materials are outlined.

Analysis of Plane Waves in Anisotropic Magneto-Piezothermoelastic Diffusive Body with Fractional Order Derivative

In this paper the propagation of harmonic plane waves in a homogeneous anisotropic magneto-piezothermoelastic diffusive body with fractional order derivative is studied. The governing equations for a homogeneous transversely isotropic body in the context of the theory of thermoelasticity with diffusion given by Sherief et al. [1] are considered as a special case. It is found that three types of...

A New Theorem Concerning Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves in Multilayered Metamaterial Spherical Structures

The proposed theorem in this paper is indicative of a kind of duality in the propagation of waves in the dual media of and in the spherical structures. Independent of wave frequency, the number of layers, their thickness, and the type of polarization, this theorem holds true in case of any change in any of these conditions. Theorem: Consider a plane wave incident on a multilayered spheric...

Tunable multiple-scattering system

To study the propagation of multiply scattered waves, it is useful to have a medium in which the scattering properties can be easily controlled. Here, we describe such a system; it involves the propagation of ultrasonic surface waves in a medium with an aligned, disordered pattern of grooves. Waves propagating parallel to the grooves see a homogeneous medium; waves propagating perpendicular to ...

Scattering integral equations for diffusive waves: detection of objects buried in diffusive media in the presence of rough interfaces

The surface integral formalism is used to derive the integral equations for the scattering of diffusive waves, which account for the contribution of object boundaries and interfaces between media and which are numerically solved without approximations. The extinction theorem and other surface integral theorems for diffusive waves are introduced to obtain the boundary values of both the photon d...

Intensity correlations in electronic-wave propagation in a disordered medium: The influence of spin-orbit scattering.

We obtain explicit expressions for the correlation functions of transmission and reflection coefficients of coherent electronic waves propagating through a disordered quasi-one-dimensional medium with purely elastic diffusive scattering in the presence of spin-orbit interactions. We find in the metallic regime both large local intensity fluctuations and long-range correlations which ultimately ...
