Abstract
This paper presents the results of an experimental study designed to test the validity of an analytical model describing scattering of radiation by coated fibers. The experiment involved measuring radiation intensities scattered by silica fibers coated with silicon and comparing the measurements to predicted values. Measurements were conducted with 7.9 micrometer diameter silica fibers coated with a 0.25 micrometer thick silicon layer at wavelengths of 0.633 and 10.6 micrometers. The results indicated good agreement for the locations of the maxima and minima of the scattered intensities, acceptable agreement for the backscattered fraction, and qualitative agreement for the intensity amplitudes. It was concluded that there was sufficient evidence supporting the use of the model for analyzing radiation scattering by coated fibers.
