We show how to efficiently calculate the signal in optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems due to the ballistic photons, the quasi-ballistic photons, and the photons that undergo multiple diffusive scattering using Monte Carlo simulations with importance sampling.
Our accurate multiple scattering radiative transfer model uses the radiative transfer equation solver DISORT.
An inclusion is decomposed into a number of small subscatterers and the field scattered by the subscatterers is solved by using a multiple scattering theory.
We then develop a new formal hierarchy for the multiple scattering of elastic waves, which is used to calculate the bulk wave properties of the composite coating.
However, a price has to be paid to obtain a high efficiency cell using this approach: multiple scattering caused by disordered particles deposited on the back side of the electrode renders the cell opaque, thus preventing their potential application as window modules.
We describe a new type of lidar instrument, Wide-Angle Imaging Lidar (WAIL), designed to study and directly make use of multiple scattering in clouds.
Ed Stern told me once why EXAFS is so powerful, because, with a giant computer, one can account for multiple scattering without resorting to the use of RPA, or nearest neighbor even next nearest neighbor interactions.
