As the 2020 winner of the van de Hulst Award, I have been committed to the writing of a van
de Hulst Essay which is presented here. The Award has been essentially motivated by my …

Various in situ measurements of the light‐scattering diagram in ice clouds were performed
with a new nephelometer during several airborne campaigns. These measurements were …

The demand for fiber-filled polymers has witnessed a significant upswing in recent years. A
comprehensive understanding of the local fiber orientation is imperative to accurately predict …

The objective of this paper is to discuss the possibility of noninvasive optical characterization
of a transparent (glass) fiber by means of low-coherent light scattering. It will be shown that …

The aim of this paper is to discuss the possibility of a noninvasive, optical characterization of
a transparent (glass) fiber on the basis of scattered light in the vicinity of a primary rainbow …

A comparison between two models of light scattering on an infinite, nonabsorbing cylinder
modeling a fiber in a composite material is presented. In the first model the incident light is …

An experimental set‐up has been designed to record maps of intensity distribution for two
orthogonal polarizations allowing the retrieval of average information along the optical path …

In many practical applications, such as telecommunications, environment, fluid mechanics,
and industrial procedures, final products or intermediary products exhibit the shape of a …

BC (Black Carbon), which can be found in the atmosphere, is characterized by a large value
of the imaginary part of the complex refractive index and, therefore, might have an impact on …

Point sources in the atmosphere are surrounded by aureoles because of atmospheric
scattering. The properties of an aureole were calculated by use of a Monte Carlo approach …
