Abstract:
Results of experiments with laser modulation interference microscopy and the Mueller-matrix scatterometry show that macroscopic scatterers of light waves are present in doubly distilled water free of external solid impurities. The experimental data can be interpreted using a computational model of micron-scale clusters composed of polydisperse air bubbles having effective radii of 70-90 nm. The fractal dimension of such clusters was evaluated as 2.4-2.8 and their concentration appeared to be approximately 10(6) cm(-3).
