Multiple scattering of light in an inhomogeneous medium near the critical point. II - Spectral composition of scattered radiation
Abstract
The spectral composition of light multiply scattered in an inhomogeneous medium is considered. The number of components, positions of their alignment points, half widths, and relations between the components and their characteristics in the spectrum are determined. Conditions for conservation or decay of modes during multiple scattering are formulated. Some features of the 'field' and temperature dependences of the characteristics of the single- and double-scattering spectrum near a critical point are described. Their dependence on the transferred wave vector is also discussed. Some ways of carrying out an experiment to study multiparticle correlations in a condensed medium are mentioned.
