Scattering from a moving spherical particle by two crossed coherent plane waves

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The Mie scattering properties of a homogeneous, isotropic spherical particle, moving at a constant velocity and illuminated by two intersecting coherent plane waves having the same polarization direction, have been analyzed based upon an exact solution to Maxwell’s equations. The solutions are in a form suitable for the calculation of the time varying scattered signal integrated across a detector aperture of variable size that is centered on either the forward or backward scattering direction. This problem is of importance in defining the scattered signal in a cross beam laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV). Results obtained from calculating the integrated scattered signal indicate a strong dependence upon the following physical parameters: particle size, index of refraction, cross beam angle, and collection solid angle.
