Polarimetry is one of the most promising types of remote sensing for improved
characterization of atmospheric aerosol. Indeed, aerosol particles constitute a highly …

The optics of correlated disordered media is a conceptually rich research topic emerging at
the interface between the physics of waves in complex media and nanophotonics. Inspired …

In 2017, western Canadian wildfires injected smoke into the stratosphere that was
detectable by satellites for more than 8 months. The smoke plume rose from 12 to 23 …

The absorption Ångström exponent (AAE) is an important aerosol optical parameter used for
aerosol characterization and apportionment studies. The AAE of black carbon (BC) particles …

Australian wildfires burning from December 2019 to January 2020 injected approximately
0.9 Tg of smoke into the stratosphere; this is the largest amount observed in the satellite era …

This self-contained and accessible book provides a thorough introduction to the basic
physical and mathematical principles required in studying the scattering and absorption of …

Enhancing the light‐matter interactions is important for many different applications like
sensing, surface enhanced spectroscopies, solar energy harvesting, and for quantum effects …

Soot particles strongly absorb sunlight and hence act as a short-lived warming agent.
Atmospheric aging of soot particles changes their morphology and mixing state and …

In optical particle characterisation and aerosol science today light scattering simulations are
regarded as an indispensable tool to develop new particle characterisation techniques or in …

We report the publication of treams, a new software for electromagnetic scattering
computations based on the T-matrix method. Besides conventional T-matrix calculations for …
