“…Since then, a wide variety of papers have been published on this subject. For example, many efforts have been devoted to the spectral shifts of a light wave scattered by different kinds of scatterers, including a system of particles [6], deterministic media [7], quasi-homogeneous media [8], biological tissues [9,10], anisotropic media [11,12] and semisoft boundary media [13,14], etc. It is worth noting that the spectral switch, which defines the phenomenon whereby the spectral lines of the scattered field make a rapid transition from a red shift to a blue shift (or vice versa), can be realized in some special cases [15,16].…”

Within the accuracy of the first-order Born approximation, the spectral shifts and spectral switches produced by the scattering of an electromagnetic light wave from a random hollow scatterer with adjustable shell thickness have been investigated. The effects of the properties of the scatterer and the incident light wave on the far-zone scattered spectrum have been discussed in detail by using numerical examples. It is shown that, as the scattering angle increases, the scattered spectrum will split into two peaks, and subsequently the two peaks will make a rapid transition as a spectral switch. The position at which the spectral switch occurs is affected by the shell thickness, the outer and inner correlation lengths of the scatterer as well as the polarization of the incident light. Besides, the polarization of the incident light also has an impact on the spectral width of the scattered field.
