Channel Polarization

In this paper we report using a 6-channel polarization detector to measure optical properties of aerosols and clouds. The polarization lidar system is designed to measure Stokes vectors and Mueller matrices from back-scatterings of air, aerosols and clouds by using several polarizers of setting at different angles, and a retarder to measure circular polarization. The 4 components Stokes vectors of the scattering media are constructed and a case of tropopause cirrus cloud and stratospheric aerosols are measured with the Mueller matrix derived.

The Impact

The article describes the role of polarisation in calculation of multiple reflections. A mathematical model of multiple reflections based on the Stokes vector for beam description and Mueller matrices for description of surface properties is presented. On the basis of this model, the global illumination equation is generalised for the polarisation case and is resolved into volume integration. This allows us to obtain an expression for the Monte Carlo method local estimates and to use them for evaluation of light distribution in the scene with consideration of polarisation. The obtained mathematical model was implemented in the software environment using the example of a scene with its surfaces having both diffuse and regular components of reflection. The results presented in the article show that the calculation difference may reach 30 % when polarisation is taken into consideration as compared to standard modelling.

Small Angle Light Scattering

A time-resolved small-angle light scattering apparatus equipped with azimuthal integration by means of a conical lens or software analysis of scattering patterns detected with a CCD camera was developed. Averaging allows a significant reduction of the signal-to-noise ratio of scattered light and makes this technique suitable for investigation of phase separation kinetics. Examples of applications to time evolution of phase separation in concentrated statistical copolymer solutions and dissolution of phase-separated domains in polymer blends are given.
