Light scattering as the basis for size determination of many objects has been explored for a long time. It was Gustav Mie, author of the Mie Scattering Theory, who studied gold nanoparticles in ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

In this paper, following Darwin's (1924) treatment of the reflexion and refraction of light on a transparent homogeneous medium, the problem of the diffraction of light by ultrasonic waves is ...

ABSTRACT We discuss the polarization properties and first‐order diffraction efficiencies of volume phase holographic (VPH) transmission gratings, which can be exploited to improve the throughput of ...
