ABSTRACT

А theoretical model for calculating the motion dynamics of the particles of different light-scattering mechanisms in the energy inhomogeneous optical field is suggested. The direct relationship between the motion velocity of the tested particles in the created field and the degree of coherence of mutually orthogonal linearly polarized plane waves is demonstrated. The possibilities of using the normalized value of the averaged velocity for particles of the λ/100 sizes to define the degree of coherence of mutually orthogonal linearly polarized fields are shown.
