Moreover, the defect particles are observed as periodic particles for a more complex situation. In order to obtain the scattering contribution of defects inside the optical surface, a difference radar cross section is added into the model to analyze the selected calculations on the effects of numbers, separation distances, different depths and different materials of defects. The effects of different incident angles are also discussed. The numerical results are analyzed in detail to demonstrate the best position to find the defects in the optical surface by detecting in steps of a fixed degree for the incident angle.展开更多

Light pipes are often simulated with geometric optics (GO) using ray tracing, where surface scattering is driven by the surface slope distribution. In the DO case, surface scattering analyses depend on the spatial frequency distribution and amplitude as well as wavelength, with the sinusoidal grating as a fundamental basis. A better understanding of the link, or transition, between DO and GO scattering domains would be helpful for efficiently incorporating scattering loss analyses into ray trace simulations. A formula for the root-mean-square (rms) scattered angle width of a sinusoidal reflection grating that depends only on the surface rms slope is derived from the nonparaxial scalar diffraction theory, thereby linking it to GO. The scatter angle’s mean and rms width are evaluated over a range of grating amplitudes and periods using scalar theory and full vector simulations from the COMSOL® wave optic module for a sinusoidal reflection grating. The conditions under which the diffraction-based solution closely approximates the GO solution, as predicted by the rms slope, are identified. Close agreement is shown between the DO and GO solutions for the same surface rms slope scattering loss due to angular filtering near the critical angle of a total internal reflection (TIR) glass-to-air interface.展开更多

To address such issues, a new colony based label-free detection method working on the principles of elastic light scattering was introduced. In order to build libraries of scattering images for bacterial pathogens, it is pertinent to determine the effect of preparation and storage of the agar media on the scatter patterns. Scatter patterns of three Escherichia coli serovars (O26, O111 and O157) were studied and used in a model system, after growth on Sorbitol-MacConkey agar plates that were prepared and stored at different conditions in the laboratory. Quantitative image processing software was used to analyze variation in scatter patterns of the same serovar on media prepared under various standard laboratory conditions and to generate a cross-validation matrix for comparison. Based on the results, it was determined that attention should be given during preparation of media so that the agar plates are not air-dried more than 10 - 20 min after solidification at room temperature. The plates could be stored in sealed bags in cold room (4oC - 10oC) for up to a month before use. The findings of this study should provide guidelines in preparation, storage, and handling of media for generation of reproducible scatter patterns of bacterial colonies with the light scattering sensor for pathogen detection.展开更多

In this contribution, we make a comparison of the two light scattering techniques by employing gold nanoparticles （AuNPs） aggregation induced by mercuric ions. It was found that citrate-stabilized AuNPs got aggregated in aqueous medium in the presence of mercuric ions through a chelation process, resulting in greatly enhanced LSPR-LS signals and increased hydrodynamic diameter. The enhanced LSPR-LS intensity （A/） is proportional to the concentration of mercuric ions in the range of 0.4-2.5 laM following the linear regression equation of A/= -84.7＋516.4c, with the correlation coefficient of 0.983 （n = 6） and the limit of determi- nation （3o-） about 0.10 gM. On the other hand, the increased hydrodynamic diameter can be identified by the DLS signals only with a concentration of Hg2＋ in the range of 1.0-2.5 gM, and a linear relationship between the average hydrodynamic diame- ters of the resulted aggregates and the concentration of Hg2＋ can be expressed as d = -6.16 ＋ 45.9c with the correlation coeffi- cient of 0.994. In such case, LSPR-LS signals were further applied to the selective determination of mercuric ions in lake water samples with high sensitivity and simple operation.展开更多

The adsorption was investigated by a combination of static and dynamic laser light scattering (LLS) measurements. In static LLS, the absolute excess scattered light intensity led to the amount of PNIPAM adsorbed on the surface. In dynamic LLS, the hydrodynamic thickness of the adsorbed PNIPAM layer was accurately measured. For a given particle concentration, the adsorption increases as the PNIPAM concentration and the incubation temperature increase. The average density of the adsorbed PNIPAM layer is reciprocally proportional to the number of the PNIPAM chains on the surface, revealing a simple scaling of the chain density distribution. The adsorption follows the Langmuir's isotherm. The enthalpy change estimated from the adsorption at 25 degrees C and 30 degrees C is slightly positive, indicating that the adsorption involves the coil-to-globule transition of the chains on the surface.展开更多
