This technical report consists of publications, |
|
manuscripts, and supplemental information related to the |
|
scattering of light by bubbles in liquids and in glass. |
|
The emphasis of the report is on the scattering by air |
|
bubbles in water into the angular regions where |
|
diffraction makes essential corrections to elementary ray |
|
optics. For bubbles these regions are backward, forward |
|
and critical angle scattering. Most of the previous |
|
literature on light scattering is concerned with drop- |
|
like objects where the refractive index of the scatterer |
|
exceeds that of the surroundings. The present results |
|
should be useful for the optical characterization of |
|
microbubbles at sea and in water tunnels, or for the |
|
prediction of the optical properties of bubbly media. |
|
They should also be useful for laser-Doppler anemometry |
|
with microbubbles and the detection of microbubbles in |
|
glass. Certain phenomena described here should be present |
|
for other spherical or nearly spherical scatterers where |
|
the refractive index is less than that of the |
|
surroundings, for example: air bubbles in ice, water |
|
inclusions in fused quartz (such as those present in |
|
varieties of opal glass), ice spheres in water, and |
|
superheated drops in a host liquid. The coarse structure |
|
in the critical scattering region can be present even if |
|
the scatterer is not spherical. |
