«We analyze how much light of a laser beam directed at the sample is
scattered in a given direction.
Not exact matches
These can
give you additional shooting capabilities like shooting backwards (
in addition to forwards), a
scatter shot that goes at an angle up / down
in the
direction you're facing, a vertical shot.
For other reasons, at LTE, the transmission (of a
given type of photon) is the same
in a pair of opposite
directions, so
in the absence of
scattering, emissivity and absorptivity must each be the same for opposite
directions across the same path of material, and thus they will be the same for absorption of photons from a
direction and emission of photons into the opposite
direction.
But I mentioned it earlier and just wanted to clarify: I # is I scaled by n such that I # is conserved over distance
in the
direction I propagates absent
scattering, reflection, absorption; The fraction of I that is absorbed, or
scattered, or reflected at a
given point is proportional to the fraction of I # that is absorbed,
scattered, or reflected.
