Abstract
We have determined the scattering delay time of Mie scatterers (r=255 nm quartz spheres in polyester resin) from a combination of steady-state (integrating-sphere) and time-resolved (frequency-domain) measurements performed in the multiple-scattering regime. The effective transport velocity of light was derived from intensity and phase measurements at four different wavelengths by using the time-integrated microscopic Beer–Lambert law. We could demonstrate a systematic underestimation of the effective transport velocity compared with the phase velocity in the medium. Assuming that this discrepancy was caused entirely by the transient nature of a single-scattering process, the data presented resulted in time delays of between 18 fs (λ=678 nm) and 177 fs (λ=1064 nm) per scattering event. For three out of four wavelengths investigated, the measured values are in excellent agreement with values predicted by a theoretical model for the scattering delay time based on Mie theory.
