Abstract:

Light scattering caused by pores detrimentally affects the optical transparency of transparent ceramics. Herein, Mie theory has been used to calculate the cross-section of pore scattering in transparent ceramics, and the influence of wavelength, pore size distribution and refractive index has been discussed in detail. For wavelength between 200 nm and 2000 nm, the scattering cross-section decreases with increasing wavelength, which means that pore scattering is more detrimental to short-wavelength transparency. With ZOLD function simulating the pore size distribution inside the ceramic, it has been found that the scattering is strongest when the most-probable diameter d_m equals the incident light wavelength λ. And FWHM (full width at half maximum) parameter a also affects the scattering cross-section. a between 0.003 and 0.7 is necessary for obtaining high optical transparency in visible wavelength range. The method presented in this work is available for the estimation of scattering effect in different kinds of materials, which may be useful for future design of high-transparency ceramics.
