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…
A line photon incident in an electron-scattering medium is transferred in a diffusive way both in real space and in frequency space, and the mean number of scatterings changes as the wavelength shifts from the line center. This leads to the…
The presence of resonances modifies the passage of light or of electrons through a disordered medium. We generalize random matrix theory to account for this effect. Using supersymmetry, we calculate analytically the mean density of states,…
We investigate the potential of mutual scattering, i.e., light scattering with multiple properly phased incident beams, as a method to extract structural information from inside an opaque object. In particular, we study how sensitively the…
We study the scattering of infrared light by small dielectric core-shell particles taking a sapphire sphere with a CaO core as an example. The extinction efficiency of such a particle shows two intense series of resonances attached,…
Six-dimensional quantum dynamical calculations of the scattering of H_2 from a Pd(100) surface using a potential energy surface derived from density-functional theory calculations are presented. Due to the corrugation and anisotropy of the…
We provide a theoretical description of light scattering by a spherical particle whose permittivity is modulated in time at twice the frequency of the incident light. Such a particle acts as a finite-sized photonic time crystal and, despite…
We explore the total cross section of ground state polar molecules in an electric field at various energies, focusing on RbCs and RbK. An external electric field polarizes the molecules and induces strong dipolar interactions leading to…
We show that periodically doped, flat surfaces can act as reflective diffraction gratings for atomic and molecular matter waves. The diffraction element is realized by exploiting that charged dopants locally suppress quantum reflection from…
Specular reflection is known to play an important role in many fields of scattering applications, e.g., in remote sensing, computer graphics, optimization of visual appearance of industrial products. Usually it can be assumed that the…
The extended boundary condition method can be formulated to study plane-wave scattering by an ellipsoid composed of an orthorhombic dielectric-magnetic material whose relative permittivity dyadic is a scalar multiple of its relative…
We investigate the electronic Raman scattering in pure, quasi-one dimensional conductors with density wave ground state. In particular, we develop the theory of light-scattering on spin and charge density waves, both conventional and…
Photonics caught world attention since channel capacity limit of metallic interconnects approached due to research and design in high speed digital processors. Use of dielectrics, instead, suitable for light propagation was more attractive…
We investigate the scattering phenomena in two dimensions produced by a general finite-range nonseparable potential. This situation can appear either in a Cartesian geometry or in a heterostructure with cylindrical symmetry. Increasing the…
We present experimental results showing the diffuse reflection of a Bose-Einstein condensate from a rough mirror, consisting of a dielectric substrate supporting a blue-detuned evanescent wave. The scattering is anisotropic, more pronounced…
We present a method to measure the vector-field light scattering of individual microscopic objects. The polarization-dependent optical field images are measured with quantitative phase imaging at the sample plane, and then numerically…
We consider two aspects of scattering in strong plane wave backgrounds. First, we show that the infra-red divergences in elastic scattering depend on the structure of the background, but can be removed using the usual Bloch-Nordsieck…
We show in random matrix theory, microwave measurements, and computer simulations that the mean free path of a random medium and the strength and position of an embedded reflector can be determined from radiation scattered by the system.…
Pulsar dynamic spectra exhibit high visibility fringes arising from interference between scattered radio waves. These fringes may be random or highly ordered patterns, depending on the nature of the scattering or refraction. Here we…
A novel scheme is proposed to generate uniform relativistic electron layers for coherent Thomson backscattering. A few-cycle laser pulse is used to produce the electron layer from an ultra-thin solid foil. The key element of the new scheme…
