Measurement of Light Scattering at 0 deg by Micrometer-Size Quartz Fibers

摘要

Measurements of light scattering by a quartz fiber at an angle of O deg have beenmade by using the 0.5145-micrometer line from an Ar+ laser. Data have been obtained as a function of fiber radius from 1 to 32 micrometer, and they are in excellent agreement with theory. This new measurement technique is based on the fanning of a coherent light beam in a photorefractive BaTiO3 crystal.
