Depolarization of multiply scattered waves by spherical diffusers: Influence of the size parameter
Abstract
We study numerically, using the Mie theory, light transmission through a multiply scattering medium composed of a collection of uncorrelated, optically inactive spherical particles. The characteristic length over which a plane-wave field is depolarized depends on whether it is initially linearly or circularly polarized and on the size of the particles. In a medium containing particles small compared to the wavelength (Rayleigh regime), the characteristic length of depolarization for incident linearly polarized light is found to exceed that for incident circularly polarized light, while the opposite is true in a medium composed of particles large compared to the wavelength (Mie regime). A comparison of numerical results with the data from measurements on suspensions of polystyrene latex spheres in water is made. Agreement between these simulations and experiment is good for the range of sizes considered in this paper. We also discuss the relevance of the helicity-flip model to the analysis of these data.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
