Abstract

The scattering amplitude functions of a spatially-oriented chiral spheroid are derived. Polarimetric scattering from a layer of nonuniformly oriented chirally-active spheroids in the Mueller matrix solution is obtained. Co-polarized and de-polarized backscattering and polarization degree for any polarized incidence are numerically calculated. Transmissions of coherent waves with four Stokes parameters through the layer are also discussed. Comparisons of polarimetric scattering from the chiral and achiral particulate media demonstrate the chirality effect on wave scattering and transmission
