Abstract

Two additional types of light scattering in continuous media are considered. One is the cross photoelastic scattering from density fluctuations caused by thermodynamic temperature fluctuations and the other is the cross thermorefractive scattering from temperature fluctuations caused by density fluctuations, which manifest themselves in propagation of elastic sound waves. Expressions for the light scattering coefficients for these two types of scattering are obtained. The integral intensities of scattered light are shown to be comparable with the well-known integral intensities of light scattering by fluctuations of density (pressure) and temperature (entropy) for some substances.
