Correlation properties of light backscattered multiply from fractal aggregates of particles under brownian motion
Abstract:
Studies on the phenomena of light scattered multiply from strongly absorbent media have been of benefit to metrology in biophysics, chemistry, and other areas. In this article, a temporal autocorrelation function of time-varying light backscattered multiply from a fractal aggregate of particles under Brownian motion suspended in an absorbent medium is investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulation. Temporal statistics of the backscattered light in time regions longer and shorter than the relaxation time depend on the fractal dimension and agree with the case of the homogeneously random media, respectively. The angular dependence of light backscattered multiply from fractal media varies dramatically depending on the fractal dimension in comparison with that from homogeneously random media. The influence of absorption generates the time shift in the temporal autocorrelation function in such a way that they vary approximately in accordance with a square root of the absorption coefficient but are independent of the fractal dimension. © 1999 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
