    Diffusing-wave spectroscopy with a point source shows faster decay in backscattered light intensity compared to plane-source models. This new probe design is effective for sizing particles in concentrated dispersions.

    Area of Science:

    • Physics
    • Optics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Diffusing-wave spectroscopy (DWS) is a technique used to study light scattering in turbid media.
    • The autocorrelation function of backscattered intensity is crucial for DWS analysis.
    • Accurate modeling is essential for reliable particle sizing in concentrated dispersions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To calculate the autocorrelation function for DWS using a point source within the diffusive-wave model.
    • To compare the results with the plane-source approximation.
    • To present a novel probe design for point-source DWS and evaluate its utility for particle sizing.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the diffusive-wave model to calculate the autocorrelation function of backscattered intensity for a point source.
