Scattering, light geometric

Figure Bl.9.4. Geometrical relations between vectors associated with incident and scattered light.

The factor (q/a ) may be obtained from independent optical and geometrical measurements, since q is the transmittance of the attenuator used for the incident beam, a is the solid angle of detection of scattered light and is the thickness of sample. 

Figure 1.5 Left panel the young, accreting star-disk system HH30 seen edge-on at visible wavelengths. The optically thick disk occults the star and the scattered light image shows the flaring disk surface. The system also drives a powerful jet (NASA/Space Telescope Science Institute, Burrows et al. 1996). Right panel debris disk around the 12 Myr-old low-mass star AU Mic. The disk is geometrically flat, optically thin and depleted in gas (NASA/ESA/STScI).

Figure 7.3 depicts a sketch of the geometric configuration normally used to focus the laser beam, visualize the sample and collect the scattered light. Raman microspectrometers were originally designed to work with a confocal microscope. 

The angle between the polarization directions of incident and scattered light enters the geometric factor It takes a maximum... 

As a result of 58(f, i), an incident light will be scattered. The direction, polarization, and spectrum of the scattered light depends on the optical-geometrical configuration.
