Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study presents an investigation of the polarization of infra-red waves due to propagation through the atmosphere. Cumulus cloud and Haze M particle size distributions are considered for various optical depths at wavelengths of 4.0 and 10.0 micrometers. Results at these wavelengths are compared to results at a wavelength of 0.5 micrometers for the same physical atmosphere. Initially the radiative transfer integral equations are derived which include the Stokes polarization vector. From these integral equations a Monte Carlo simulation technique is used to photon histories through the atmosphere. The effects of multiple scattering on the polarization state of the scattered intensity is included. A diffuse scattering ground which causes complete depolarization of the incident intensity is included in the simulation model.

Download or read book Transfer of Polarized Light in Planetary Atmospheres written by J.W. Hovenier and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-16 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal elements of the theory of polarized light transfer in planetary atmospheres are expounded in a systematic but concise way. Basic concepts and practical methods are emphasized, both for single and multiple scattering of electromagnetic radiation by molecules and particles in the atmospheres of planets in the Solar System, including the Earth, and beyond. A large part of the book is also useful for studies of light scattering by particles in comets, the interplanetary and interstellar medium, circumstellar disks, reflection nebulae, water bodies like oceans and suspensions of particles in a gas or liquid in the laboratory. Throughout the book symmetry principles, such as the reciprocity principle and the mirror symmetry principle, are employed. In this way the theory is made more transparent and easier to understand than in most papers on the subject. In addition, significant computational reductions, resulting from symmetry principles, are presented. Hundreds of references to relevant literature are given at the end of the book. Appendices contain supplementary information such as a general exposition on properties of matrices transforming Stokes parameters of light beams. Each chapter concludes with a number of problems with answers or hints for solution. The readers should have some basic knowledge of physics and mathematics. The book is suitable as a textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. It will also be of interest to science professionals in one of the many disciplines in which electromagnetic scattering plays an important role, like astrophysics, atmospheric optics, remote sensing, marine optics, biophysics and biomedicine.

Download or read book An Infrared Model of R/V POINT SUR Using EOPACE Data written by Chee Yong Tan and published by . This book was released on 1999-03-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrared polarization techniques to improve the target-background contrast are the subject of much study lately. Polarized infrared images of the research vessel, R/V POINT SUR were taken extensively during the Electro-Optical Propagation Assessment in Coastal Environment (EOPACE) operational period in Mar-Apr 1996 at Point Loma, San Diego. Contrast improvement analysis of these images requires an infrared model of the research vessel. This thesis models the apparent infrared signature of the R/V POINT SUR using ship skin temperature records from the EOPACE measurements. Using a simple geometric model and adopting a pixel-by-pixel approach, the emitted radiation for each pixel surface is calculated from the Planck radiation law. Radiation reflected off the pixel surface is estimated using the polarized SeaRad atmospheric propagation code. The total radiance is compensated for atmospheric transmittance with the Navy Aerosol Model to arrive at the apparent radiance at the sensor. The apparent radiance is translated into apparent temperature for comparison with the recorded images to validate the accuracy of the model. There is moderate agreement between the model and recorded images with 45-50% of the pixels falling within 1.75K of the measured apparent temperatures.

Download or read book General Theory of Light Propagation and Imaging Through the Atmosphere written by T. Stewart McKechnie and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2nd edition lays out an updated version of the general theory of light propagation and imaging through Earth’s turbulent atmosphere initially developed in the late ‘70s and ‘80s, with additional applications in the areas of laser communications and high-energy laser beam propagation. New material includes a chapter providing a comprehensive mathematical tool set for precisely characterizing image formation with the anticipated Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTS), enabling a staggering range of star image shapes and sizes; existing chapters rewritten or modified so as to supplement the mathematics with clearer physical insight through written and graphical means; a history of the development of present-day understanding of light propagation and imaging through the atmosphere as represented by the general theory described. Beginning with the rudimentary, geometrical-optics based understanding of a century ago, it describes advances made in the 1960s, including the development of the ‘Kolmogorov theory,’ the deficiencies of which undermined its credibility, but not before it had done enormous damage, such as construction of a generation of underperforming ‘light bucket’ telescopes. The general theory requires no a priori turbulence assumptions. Instead, it provides means for calculating the turbulence properties directly from readily-measurable properties of star images.

This book was released on 2000-03-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classical phenomenon of light scattering is one of the most studied t- ics in light-matter interaction and, even today, involves some controversial issues. A present focus of interest for many researchers is the possibility of obtaining information about microstructures, for example surface roughness, and the size, shape and optical properties of particles by means of a n- invasive technique such as the illumination of these objects with light. One of their main tasks is to extract the relevant information from a detailed study of the scattered radiation. This includes: measurement of the light intensity in di erent directions, analysis of its polarization, determination of its stat- tics,etc. Contributionstoresolvingthisproblemareimportantnotonlyfrom the point of view of increasing basic knowledge but also in their applications to several elds of industry and technology. Consider, for example, the pos- bility of distinguishing between di erent types of atmospheric contaminants, biological contaminants in our blood, the detection of microdefects in the manufacturing of semiconductors, magnetic discs and optical components, or the development of biological sensors. During the period September 11-13, 1998, we brought together a group of international experts on light scattering at the Summer School of Laredo at the University of Cantabria. In a series of one-hour lectures, they discussed currentaspectsoflightscatteringfrommicrostructureswithspecialemphasis on recent applications. The present book condenses those lectures into ve parts.

Download or read book On the Transport of Polarized Infrared Signals Through the Terrestrial Atmosphere written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both the Mie scattering and polarimetric transport models indicate that, in the LWIR, the atmospheric effect on the transport of right-hand circularly polarized signals and left-hand circularly polarized signals is identical. In the LWIR, the observed normalized circular polarization anisotropy, S3/SO, of a signal should not require any atmospheric corrections. Because natural LWIR light in not circularly polarized, only an active system will be able to exploit this finding. Both the Mie scattering and polarimetric transport models indicate that, in the LWIR, the atmospheric effect on the transport of the two orthogonal components of linearly polarized signals should be significantly different. In the LWIR both the observed degree of lineal polarization and the observed normalized linear polarization anisotropy Si/SO of a signal should require atmospheric corrections.
