Radiative transfer (RT) of polarized light in the coupled-atmosphere-ocean (CAO) system.
Previous RT studies on CAO system assumed plane-parallel configuration and used a statistic Cox-Munk model to take the wind-driven surface waves into consideration. However, results from this scheme correspond to temporal- and spatial-averaged radiation fields and cannot capture the temporal and spatial dependence in the real-world situation. Currently, we are working on the RaDyO project aiming for a model that accounts for the influence of the dynamic ocean surfaces. Our model brings a CAO system to a coupled-atmosphere-surface-ocean (CASO) system, and thus gives more accurate description of polarized light in real ocean. - Remote sensing of cloud properties
- Studies of elastic and inelastic light scattering by single particles using the discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) method as a tool for particle identification
-
Theoretical studies on transformation optical devices, such as invisibility cloaks, super lens, et al. details
The Discrete-Dipole Approximation (DDA) method is generalized and applied to numerical studies on novel optical devices based on the transformation optics. Given the material specifications, the generalized DDA method can simulate the electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of a metamaterial optical device and investigate the performance of the device.
