Some Features of Light Scattering in Optically Anisotropic Media

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Experimental results on observation of the light scattering in optically anisotropic transparent media are presented. During observation at angles close to the normal to the light beam in the crystal, a periodic trace line, which reflects the light-scattering dependence on the polarization of the laser light beam passing through the medium, is seen. Generalization of the well-known Umov experiment to more complex optically anisotropic media is presented. A simple theoretical model for a qualitative interpretation of the experimental data is proposed.
