Wavelet analysis is presented for solving the radiative transfer equation for a scattering medium in a one-dimensional plane-parallel geometry. Some properties of the wavelet transform for numerical approximation of radiative heat transfer are demonstrated. The governing equations are reduced to a system of first-order ordinary differential equations. Linear anisotropic scattering is assumed in order to compare the results with the previous researchers. The method of analysis is quite general since it only requires that the scattering phase function is square integrable. The numerical solutions indicate that wavelet approximation is promising.

The solution of the radiative transfer equation (RTE) becomes complicated when the participating medium is scattering and/or the boundary walls are reflecting. To reduce the complexity, the resolved order of scattering (ROS) formulation described in this paper separates the radiative intensities being solved by RTE into a series of intensities corresponding to different orders of the scattering and reflection events. The resulting equation of transfer for each order of radiative intensity is not only much simpler to solve but also represents the physical scattering/reflection processes that are hidden in the original full RTE. The ROS formulation provides a mathematically rigorous and elegant means of solving RTE for strong scattering media with or without reflecting boundaries. Sample calculations are presented for a droplet-laden, 3D enclosure with strong anisotropic scattering.

AbstractWe report the observation of strongly anisotropic scattering of laser light at oblique incidence on (100)-oriented porous silicon layers. We performed angle-resolved light scattering measurements and three concentric rings were observed. Modeling porous silicon by means of nanometric columnar air pores and an effective anisotropic uniaxial dielectric constant explains the observed phenomenon, and besides, the observation of the angle aperture of these rings allows a direct measurement of relative birefringence. We finally study the changes of optical anisotropy after different modifications of the structure.
