Поляризаційні властивості когерентного випромінювання при багаторазовому розсіюванні

Abstract

The possibility to use the model of chaotic phase screens for the research of processes of coherent radiation scattering by stochastic multilayered structures is examined. The model is complemented by a spatial anisotropy of the reflection and transmission coefficients of orthogonal components of the electric field strength, which allows us to describe the polarization properties of scattered radiation. The experimental results that confirm the theoretical dependence both qualitatively and quantitatively within the limits of errors are obtained. The offered model can be applied to the analysis of polarization characteristics of radiation scattered by the turbulent atmosphere and to the determination of light scattering by eye retina.
