Light absorption and scattering in PLZT

Abstract An experimental study of the distribution of the light extinction with respect to absorbtion and scattering in hot-pressed PLZT 9.75/65/35 at the wavelength 0.425 – 5.56 μm is reported. The light scattering spectrum is explained by the Usov-Shermergor theory. The diameter of pores (0.13 μm) and pore concentration (1.7 · 107 cm−3) are determined.
