#PhysicsFactlet
Scattering VS Extinction
In #Optics, the concepts of scattering and extinction are closely related. So closely related that many people tend to confuse them.
Imagine to illuminate a small object with a beam of light. If the object is small the scattered field will be essentially a spherical wave, and the total field will be the incident one plus the scattered field.
If we were able to measure directly the field (as we can do in the microwave regime) we could happily stop here, but in optics we can only measure intensities, and the intensity is defined as the time average of the modulus of the Pointing vector. In most cases of interest, the modulus of the Poynting vector is proportional to the modulus squared of the electric field (which explains why we often that a shortcut and just talk about |E|²).
So the quantity we measure is proportional to |Eᵢₙ +Eₛ|², which is the sum of the Poynting vector of the incident field, the Poynting vector of the scattered field, plus the cross terms. These cross terms are what we usually call "extinction" and are the result of the interference between the incident and scattering fields(and the reason why you get a "shadow" behind the scatterer).

I haven't made a single scientific animation in months. I just don't have the mental space right now.
But I am preparing a series of lectures on scattering for the Plasmonica 2026 School (https://www.plasmonica.it/2026school/), and it feels like a good excuse to make a few new ones.

This one shows a simple finite element simulation of a pulse scattering on a small dielectric obstacle.

Virtually Imaged Phased Arrays (#VIPAs) are contributing to #Brillouin #microscopy, enabling a deeper understanding of biological tissue mechanics. Brillouin microscopy analyzes the inelastic #scattering of light, offering insights into mechanical properties. VIPAs play a crucial role in the #spectrometers used for this technique, helping to precisely measure the subtle frequency shifts that occur.

#Blender #GodotEngine #Scattering

Hey,
In :blender: one can use geo-nodes to scatter stuff.

The problem is to apply the modifier, i.e. on export, all those scattered instances turn into geometry - i.e. they are not shared/linked data.

On the :godot: side, I am hacking a plugin to try detect any clue that can help me spot when a scatter is coming in - i.e. I want to capture the transforms of each instance and the mesh data once. So I can make a multimesh.

any ideas?
