Abstract:
Light-scattering experiments gained prominence as potential applications of quantum optics, nonlinear
optics, and photon localization. The possibility of the realization of lasing action in random media has
created much interest in the study of the coherent structure of the backscattered light from disordered media.
Backscattering (BS) studies are carried out to analyze the possibilities of photon localization in colloidal silica.
The scattering enhancement is best associated with the density of the scatterers. The width of the BS cone and,
hence, the mean-free path is related to the concentration of the medium. The dependence of the photon wavelength
on the possible characteristics of the scattering is presented.
