The study of infectious diseases includes both the progression of the disease in its host and
how it transmits between hosts. Understanding disease transmission is important for …

Recent technological advances have demonstrated the feasibility of deploying spaceborne
optical detectors with full polarimetric capabilities. The measurement of all four Stokes …

We present an advanced optical method to measure the phase function of circular intensity
differential scattering (CIDS), ie, the normalized Mueller matrix element-S14/S11, from …

It has long been understood that dilute samples of chiral molecules such as rarefied gases
should exhibit Rayleigh optical activity. We extend the existing theory by accounting for …

We calculate the light-scattering Mueller matrix elements of left-handed and right-handed
spiral particles that have morphological chirality. For such orientation-averaged systems …

This study showcases the importance of the remote sensing of biological aerosols for both
homeland security and environmental protection. We demonstrate the application of a …
