Abstract
A transmission type of experiment was set-up to investigate coherent light scattering on suspensions with scattering centers having a wider size distribution. For each sample the contrast, the average intensity and the average speckle size of the far interference field were calculated using an alternative simple algorithm that is presented in detail. The variation of the far field parameters with the scattering centers concentration is presented. A possible application in measuring the scattering centers concentration in the very small values range is suggested and the range is indicated.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
