For Raman scattering studies of absorbing samples, e.g., in resonance Raman spectroscopy, it is frequently important to optimize the concentration and to correct for self-absorption effects on the observed intensities. These question are explored for 90° “transverse” scattering in a 0.1-cm capillary through intensity measurements of resonance Raman bands of ferro-cytochrome c and tris(1,10-phenanthroline) iron (II). It is found that a simple log intensity vs concentration plot provides the extrapolation needed to eliminate self-absorption effects. The optimum concentration is found to correspond to an absorbance per 1 cm of path length of 13 (average of values for the incident and scattered wavelengths) and is independent of absorptivity and of refractive index of the medium. The data are adequately reproduced by a point-scattering model, although different values of the effective light path through the sample are required to fit the self-absorption and intensity vs concentration curves.

Abstract Colorimetric studies of different light path lengths from a new perspective of UV-Vis spectroscopy. The corrected ultraviolet-visible light spectrum was used to calculate the color of flame-fusion synthetic ruby, and the influence of light path length and standard light source on the color of flame-fusion synthetic ruby was studied. The results show that the L*, C*, h° under the A light source are higher than those under the D65 light source. In the ultraviolet-visible light spectrum, the strong absorption band of Cr3+ at 545nm is the main cause of the color of the ruby. As the length of the light path increases, the absorption peak area at 545nm also increases, the lightness L* decreases, and the hue angle h° increases. The chroma C* first increases as the length of the light path increases, and then begins to decrease under the influence of the continuous decrease in lightness. The color difference ΔE*ab reaches the maximum when the light path length is around 10mm, and the standard light source has the greatest influence on the color difference ΔE*ab. As the length of the light path continues to increase, the influence of the standard light source on the color difference\(\)ΔE*ab decreases.

A new class of dissipative structures is proposed that live in real space rather than phase space. A light ray passing through a soup of randomly moving gravitating masses is a case in point. It suffers a “dynamic path elongation” since the random pushes and pulls have a greater probability of increasing than decreasing its path length. Time reversal then re-shrinks the path in question in a conspirational manner, while a close-by nonselected path gets expanded. This is a new statistical-mechanics phenomenon. The latter at the same time qualitatively reproduces the well-known Hubble phenomenon of distance-proportional light-path expansion in the cosmos. A preliminary quantitative estimate, based on the Birkinshaw equation with an assumed bias factor of three, is also presented.
