Abstract

A technique is proposed that makes it possible to significantly accelerate the solution of the problem of light scattering in the exact backscattering direction on particles larger than 100 microns within the framework of the physical optics method. The peculiarities of this technique is that the solution is constructed within the vicinity of a small number of nodal points. Then, in the resulting solution, one complete period of interference oscillations is allocated and the light scattering matrix is averaged in this range. The average value is entered into the database. In this way, it was possible to build a complete database of backscattering matrices for atmospheric ice particles with sizes from 10 to 1000 microns for wavelengths of 0.355, 0.532, 1.064, 1.55, 2 and 2.15 microns. The results obtained make it possible to improve the algorithms for interpreting the data of laser sensing of cirrus clouds.
