Crossover from spherical particle Mie scattering to circular aperture diffraction

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

This paper demonstrates the manner in which the Mie results for light scattering by a three-dimensional sphere of arbitrary size and refractive index crosses over to Fraunhofer diffraction by a two-dimensional circular aperture of the same radius in the limit of very large radius. Demonstration is feasible only because the graphical results are plotted in the manner of the Q-space analysis that plots scattered intensity versus the logarithm of the magnitude of the scattering wave vector rather than linear versus the scattering angle.
