Scattering properties of aqueous suspensions with absorbing dispersed phase. Optics and Spectroscopy (English translation of Optika i Spektroskopiya) Volume 115, Issue 6, December 2013, Pages 898-905

Scattering matrices of aqueous suspensions of copper oxide and graphite the particles of which are characterized by strong absorption at a wavelength of 0.63 μm have been measured in the scattering angle range of 10°-155°. The results of the measurements are compared with calculation data for axially symmetric scatterers (ellipsoids of revolution and cylinders). It is shown that, if the size parameter equals 4-6, even under conditions of strong radiation absorption by particles of the dispersive medium, deviation of their shape from axial symmetry has an effect on the scattering properties of the medium.
