Multiple-scattering effects on static light-scattering optical structure factor measurements.
We show that the extent and effect of multiple scattering on angularly resolved light-scattering intensity measurements, the optical structure factor, can be quantitatively described by a single parameter, the average number of scattering events along the scattering volume. This quantity is easily measured or calculated and hence provides a useful experimental indicator of multiple scattering, which is a hindrance to accurate structure factor measurements.
