It has recently been shown that interference effects in disordered systems give rise to two non-trivial structures: the coherent backscattering (CBS) peak, a well-known signature of presence disorder, and forward scattering (CFS) which emerges when Anderson localization sets in. We study here CFS effect quantum multifractality, fundamental property several systems, such as model at metal-insula...

A coherent scattering model for tree canopies is employed in order to characterize the sensitivity of an interferometric SAR (INSAR) response to the physical parameters of forest stands. The concept of an equivalent scatterer for a collection of scatterers within a pixel, representing the vegetation particles of tree structures, is used for identifying the scattering phase center of the pixel w...

The statistical properties of laser speckle with partially coherent light are related to the scattering characteristics of an optically diffuse material. A diffusion equation model is shown to yield a speckle contrast ratio that agrees well with measurements of opaque plastics of varying thicknesses. We show that partially coherent light can be used to determine material parameters for highly s...

Simultaneously cooling the rotational and translational motion of nanoscale dielectrics into quantum regime is an open task great importance for sensing applications superposition tests. Here, we show that six-dimensional ground state can be reached by coherent-scattering with elliptically polarized shaped optical tweezer. We determine rates steady-state occupations in a realistic setup discuss...
