We report on the design and construction of a confocal light scattering spectroscopic imaging system aimed ultimately to conduct depth-resolved characterization of biological tissues. The confocal sectioning ability of the system is demonstrated using a two-layer sample consisting of a 200 microm thick cancer cell layer on top of a scattering layer doped with a green absorber. The measurement r...

in this paper, aggregation behaviors of aqueous solutions of short chain hydrophilic ionic liquids (ils), 1 – allyl - 3 - methylimidazolium chloride ([amim]cl), 1 - ethyl - 3 - methylimidazolium chloride ([emim]cl), 1 - butyl - 3 - methylimidazolium chloride ([bmim]cl), 1 - butyl - 3 - methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]bf4) were investigated using conductivity and laser light scatterin...

resonance light scattering (rls) intensity of silver nanoparticles in the presence of sodium dodecylsulphate was quenched on addition of sulfasalzine. the quenching extent was shown to be proportional to the sulfasalazine concentration. effect of different parameters such as ph, volume and kind of buffer, silver nanoparticles concentration, sodium dodecylsulphate (sds) concentration, and waitin...

The effects of including incoherent (bound-electron) and coherent (Rayleigh) scattering in exposure buildup factor calculations for point isotropic gamma ray sources, penetrating a two-layer water-lead shield have been investigated in the gamma ray energy (E?) range of 40 keV to 3 MeV. Incoherent scattering decreases the values of these factors in both layers up to E? ~ 200 keV and the effect i...

In a two-layer diffusing medium, polarized light directly backscattering off the superficial layer will partially retain its sense of polarization, whereas deeper-probing light will be increasingly depolarized by diffusion. This effect has been studied in both elastic scattering and fluorescence contexts. We apply this method to Raman scattering in two two-layer models with a highly diffusing l...

Adequate modeling of light propagation in a human head is important for quantitative near-infrared spectroscopy and optical imaging. The presence of a nonscattering cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that surrounds the brain has been previously shown to have a strong effect on light propagation in the head. However, in reality, a small amount of scattering is caused by the arachnoid trabeculae in the CS...

dye sensitized solar cell was fabricated from a double layer photoanode. first, tio2 nanoparticles  were synthesized by hydrothermal method. these tio2 nps were deposited on fto glasses by electrophoretic deposition  method in applied voltage of 5 v and epd time of 2.5-10 min. then tio2 hollow spheres (hss) were synthesized by sacrificed template method with carbon spheres as template and ttip ...

A scattering layer is utilized by mixing nanoporous spheres and nanoparticles in ZnO-based dye-sensitized solar cells. Hundred-nanometer-sized ZnO spheres consisting of approximately 35-nm-sized nanoparticles provide not only effective light scattering but also a large surface area. Furthermore, ZnO nanoparticles are added to the scattering layer to facilitate charge transport and increase the ...

Background Light sheet microscopy became a popular tool allowing fast imaging with reduced out of focus light. However, when light penetrates turbid media such as biological tissues, multiple scattering scrambles the illumination into a speckle pattern and severely challenges conventional fluorescence imaging with focused light or with a light sheet. In this article, we present generation of li...

In this paper, we report effectiveness of microstructured scattering layer and their efficient light trapping mechanism for performance improvement of polymer solar cells (PSCs). Our simple roll-to-roll processed polymeric scattering layer is an intrinsic and economical way to harvest more light in the photoactive layer of PSC's. An inverted polymer solar cell with microstructured scattering la...
