Resonance structures in elastic and Raman scattering from microspheres
Abstract
To study the interactions between Mie scattering and Raman emissions of spherical particles, we measured the Raman spectra together with the elastically scattered light of the excitation source of an evaporating aqueous sodium nitrate droplet. Resonance structures were observed in the temporal profiles of the elastically scattered light and Raman nitrate and water emissions. The resonance structures in these three profiles occurred in a concerted mode but sometimes occurred independently of each other. A model of inelastic scattering by microspheres by Kerker et al.
