Mie Scattering in Laser Tissue Interaction

This document outlines an exercise on laser tissue interaction using the Python package miepython. It includes instructions for plotting the absorption coefficient of water and the angular dependent intensity of scattering for water and sapphire particles. Additionally, it poses questions regarding particle size, shape, refractive index effects, and intensity differences in Mie scattering.

5th Exercise Laser Tissue Interaction: Mie Scattering

03rd June 2022


Institute of Photonic Technologies
The following exercise uses the Python package miepython created by Scott Prahl. It can be installed
in Python by running the following code in an Anaconda prompt:

pip install miepython


The full documentation can be found at: [Link]

1. Write a Python program, which plots the absorption coefficient of water for the spectral region
considered in this lecture (from 0.2 μm to 10 μm). Use the information available at
[Link] values of complex refractive
index of water can be found at [Link]

2. (a) Write a Python program which plots the angular dependent intensity of scattering for light
with a wavelength of 1064 nm scattered at a water and a sapphire particle each with a size
parameter of 2π. Include the scattering center into your plot. Use the information available at
[Link] to write the program.

(b) How big is the particle actually? What shape does it have?

(c) What apparent effect does the different refractive index of sapphire have on scattering?

(d) Explain why the intensities appear to be very different from the intensities for Mie scattering
shown in the script of the lecture?
