Polarization singularities in the clear sky (2004, neutral): “Rayleigh's explanation [1] [2] of the polarization of clear-sky daylight, in terms of dipole radiation singly scattered by air molecules, would predict that light is unpolarized in the direction of the Sun or anti-Sun (anti-solar point), whichever is above the horizon.”
Optical excitations in electron microscopy (2009, background): “…of the optical theorem for small particles, stating that Im{−1/α} ≥ 2k3/3, with the equal sign only occurring for non-absorbing particles (van de Hulst, 1981). ratio of this probability to that of a single electron is exactly given by 4 cos(ωa/2v) with independence of the nature of the…”

Evidence that the spectral dependence of light absorption by aerosols is affected by organic carbon (2004, background): “…been shown that the spectral mass absorption efficiency for small particles is approximately inversely proportional to the light wavelength (i.e., a $ 1) provided the refractive index is approximately wavelength independent [Bohren and Huffman, 1998; Dalzell and Sarofim, 1969; van de Hulst, 1957].”
On the radiative properties of ice clouds: Light scattering, remote sensing, and radiation parameterization (2014, methodology): “For example, the geometric ray tracing can be used to explain rainbows and rainbow-type features produced by the scattering of light by spherical raindrops; however, the approach fails to generate the glory feature that occurs in the 180◦ backscattering direction (van de Hulst, 1957).”
Comparison of Particle Size Distributions Measured Using Different Techniques (2005, methodology): “LD using light-scattering measurements to calculate the volume-based PSD has become the most popular means of particle characterization due to its advantages of versatility, fast measurement, broad dynamic range, and high reproducibility (van de Hulst, 1957 ); however, difficulties are encountered ”
