The backscattering reciprocity theorem is considered for large particles as compared with the incident wavelength particles of arbitrary shape. It is shown that, in the specific case of faceted particles, this theorem is provided by the appearance of pairs of conjugate backscattered beams. A parameter characterizing a deviation of any approximation from the reciprocity theorem is proposed, and it is used for estimation of reliability for the physical-optics approximation.

Backscattering is a promising power-efficient communication technique providing sustainable wireless links with a low carbon footprint. This approach is a critical enabler for dense IoT networks, which are forecast to grow to 41 billion by 2025. However, existing backscatter designs are limited to the sub-6 GHz bands or narrowband operation in the millimeter-wave regime; therefore, they fail to concurrently support many interference-free low-power users.

It was proved that the joint operation of electromagnetic reciprocity and n-fold (n ≥ 3) rotational symmetry would secure arbitrary polarization-independent backscattering efficiency [Phys. Rev. B103(4), 045422 (2021)10.

Article Synopsis
  • This study introduces a new technique called reciprocal polarization imaging to measure the optical activity of chiral materials using reflection geometry.
  • The method utilizes backscattering Mueller matrices and addresses the issue of anisotropic depolarization to improve sensitivity in detecting chiral properties.
  • Experiments on glucose solutions demonstrate that this technique provides accurate measurements of optical rotation, which is crucial for potential applications in monitoring glucose levels in living organisms.

Rigorous Accounting for Dependent Scattering in Thick and Concentrated Nanoemulsions.

Concentrated and thick oil-in-water nanoemulsions have been observed to become more transparent with increasing oil volume fraction. This study demonstrates rigorously experimentally and numerically that such unusual behavior is due to dependent scattering including not only far-field but also near-field effects. Indeed, when the droplet concentration is sufficiently large, their interparticle distance becomes small compared to the wavelength of light and scattering by a given droplet may be affected by the proximity of others.

Secure key distribution (SKD) schemes based on fiber channel reciprocity provide information-theoretic security as well as a simple symmetric structure. However, the nonlinear effects and backscattering effects introduced during the bidirectional transmission process degrade the channel reciprocity. Recent unidirectional SKD schemes avoid non-reciprocal factors but require additional negotiation mechanisms to aggregate the transmitter and receiver data.
