Rayleigh scattering from defects in quartz
Abstract
The observation of right angle Rayleigh scattering from defects in quartz using an argon laser beam which is propagated at 90 degrees to the optic axis is reported. The intensity of the scattered light varies periodically along the axis of the laser beam, which variation is resolved by viewing the scattering regions with a microscope. The visibility of the scattering pattern depends upon both the direction of viewing and the plane of polarization of the incident laser beam in relation to the optic axis. A theory of the scattering patterns for the general case of propagation at an angle theta to the optic axis of an anisotropic medium is given.
