Multiple Scattering of Light by Particles

Radiative Transfer and Coherent Backscattering

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is a thorough and up-to-date treatment of multiple scattering of light and other electromagnetic radiation in media composed of randomly and sparsely positioned particles. It systematically and consistently presents radiative transfer theory as a branch of classical macroscopic electromagnetics. After tracing the fundamental link between radiative transfer theory and the effect of coherent backscattering, they are explained in the context of a comprehensive hierarchy of electromagnetic scattering problems. This self-contained book will be valuable for science professionals, engineers, and graduate students working across a wide range of disciplines.
