Anisotropic light transport is extremely common among scattering materials, yet a comprehensive picture of how macroscopic diffusion is determined by microscopic tensor scattering coefficients is not fully established yet. In this work, we…
We present a microscopic theory for multiple light scattering occurring in inhomogeneous 3D media subject to an external magnetic field. Magneto-optical effects (the Faraday effect and the Cotton-Mouton effect) occur inside the small…
The subject matter of this paper concerns anisotropic diffusion equations: we consider heat equations whose diffusion matrix have disparate eigenvalues. We determine first and second order approximations, we study the well-posedness of them…
Context: Remote light scattering and thermal infrared observations provide clues about the physical properties of cometary and interplanetary dust particles. Identifying these properties will lead to a better understanding of the formation…

A theoretical investigation of quantum-transport phenomena in mesoscopic systems is presented. In particular, a generalization to ``open systems'' of the well-known semiconductor Bloch equations is proposed. The presence of spatial boundary…
The light scalar mesons in a variety of approaches are briefly reviewed, as well as their description in the Resonance-Spectrum Expansion and related coupled-channel formalisms. A recent multichannel modelling of the light scalars is…

We propose a microscopic model to describe the scattering of light by atoms in optical lattices. The model is shown to efficiently capture Bragg scattering, spontaneous emission and photonic band gaps. A connection to the transfer matrix…
This is my English translation of my diploma thesis of 1990 (in German). A translation seemed a worthwhile venture because this diploma thesis appears to be unknown today even to close collaborators. Yet it introduces some ideas in BSDF…
We present an investigation of coherent backscattering of light that is multiple scattered by a photonic crystal by using a broad-band technique. The results significantly extend on previous backscattering measurements on photonic crystals…
We compare two different models of transport of light in a disordered system with a spherical Gaussian distribution of scatterers. A coupled dipole model, keeping into account all interference effects, is compared to an incoherent model,…
Scattering hinders the passage of light through random media and consequently limits the usefulness of optical techniques for sensing and imaging. Thus, methods for increasing the transmission of light through such random media are of…
The relative roles of multiple electron scattering and in-molecule free-space propagation in transmission electron microscopy of small molecules are discussed. It is argued that while multiple scattering tends to have only a moderate effect…
We outline the non-perturbative theory of multiple scattering of resonant, intense laser light off a dilute cloud of cold atoms. A combination of master equation and diagrammatic techniques allows, for the first time, a quantitative…
A transfer-matrix algorithm is presented herein as a beginning to study the transmission characteristics of coherent light through three-dimensional periodic microstructures, in which the structures are treated as two-dimensional-layer…
We investigate nonlinear heat properties in mesoscopic conductors using a scattering theory of transport. Our approach is based on a leading-order expansion in both the electrical and thermal driving forces. Beyond linear response, the…
