A new physical-geometric optics hybrid (PGOH) method is developed to compute the
scattering and absorption properties of ice particles. This method is suitable for studying the …

The physical-optics approximation in the problem of light scattering by large particles is so
defined that it includes the classical physical optics concerning the problem of light …

A general view of the backscattering Mueller matrix for the quasi-horizontally oriented
hexagonal ice crystals of cirrus clouds has been obtained in the case of tilted and scanning …

Light backscattering by randomly oriented hexagonal ice crystals of cirrus clouds is
considered within the framework of the physical-optics approximation. The fine angular …

The problem of light scattering by ice crystals of cirrus clouds is considered in the case of a
hexagonal ice plate with different distributions over crystal orientations. The physical-optics …

The open-source beam-splitting code is described which implements the geometric-optics
approximation to light scattering by convex faceted particles. This code is written in C++ as a …

It is shown that light backscattering by hexagonal ice crystals of cirrus clouds is formed
within the physical-optics approximation by both diffraction and interference phenomena …

Switchable liquid crystal (LC) composites are a unique and attractive class of functional
materials due to their extensive use in various applications including smart and privacy …

The study of the optical properties of cirrus clouds is necessary to improve the accuracy of
interpreting data from space lidars and ground-based lidar networks. Existing databases of …
