Chapter VI UV-Vis Spectroscopic….<br />

Where, B is the photometric brightness and dS is a surface element.<br />

However, the photometric intensity Io of the front and back surfaces of<br />

the powder layer is not equal for powders in air. As the particle size<br />

decreases, the second-harmonic lobe in the backward direction grows,<br />

whereas, reduces in the forward direction. Moreover, when the same powder<br />

is contained in a liquid of matching refractive index, the uniaxial distribution is<br />

observed. The advantage of the index matching of the powder is that the<br />

second harmonic is not significantly scattered due to reflection and refraction<br />

at particle interfaces and hence all the harmonic flux is contained in a narrow<br />

cone in the forward direction. This has been demonstrated for ADP powders<br />

by Kurtz and Perry [2], which is schematically depicted in figure (6.1).<br />
