A comparison is made of the intensity distribution of the horizontally and vertically polarized radiation sidescattered from small spherical particles in a cylindrical scattering volume.The incident radiation is a nearly collimated linearly polarized He-Ne laser beam.The scattering medium consists of various concentrations of particles which are either 0.22μm or 0.494μm in diameter and which were suspended in filtered,distilled water.In general,the effect of the diameter of the particle on depolarizing the incident beam is more important than the particle concentration,detector depth,and so on.
