This paper introduces a novel physical-inspired metaheuristic algorithm called “Light
Spectrum Optimizer (LSO)” for continuous optimization problems. The inspiration for the …

The rainbow patterns of oblate spheroidal drops have been observed in experiments nearly
forty years ago [Nature 312, 529 (1984) 10.1038/312529a0]. However, the prediction for …

We report the first experimental validation of the Vectorial Complex Ray Model (VCRM)
using the scattering patterns of large oblate droplets trapped in an acoustic field. The two …

Quantifying the evaporation rate of droplets is of great importance in many applications and
this is especially true if the evaporation occurs in a rapidly changing environment, such that …

The scattering<? TeX 0pt 47.5 pc?> patterns near the primary rainbow of oblate drops are
simulated by extending the vectorial complex ray model (VCRM) Opt. Lett. 36, 370 (2011) …

To describe the interaction of a shaped beam with a particle, the well-known generalized
Lorenz–Mie theory (GLMT) has been developed in the past three decades. However …

We developed a one-dimensional phase rainbow refractometer for the accurate trans-
dimensional measurements of droplet size on the micrometer scale as well as the tiny …

This study simulated and experimentally evaluates the effect of signal noise of 5–60 dB on
the inversion accuracy of the global rainbow signals of droplets with three typical size …

This paper analyzes various phenomena in modeling the light-scattering properties of large
spherical bubbles in the context of geometrical and physical optics approximations. Among …

The capabilities and resolution of the rainbow technique were extended to estimate the size
distribution and composition of droplets in liquid–liquid systems. For these droplets …
