Abstract

This paper describes the optical transmittance of many optical spheroids arranged on a straight line, which have analogy with tiny bubbles existing in liquid. By using an analytical method proposed by the authors, the optical transmittance has been computed under each optical spheroid being rotated by a small angle. Here, the size of optical spheroid and the gap distance between adjacent spheroids are mainly considered. The present analytical computation brings such an optical condition as light can be effectively transmitted through many optical spheroids. The maximum transmittance of light reaching 100% is realized under the following conditions where the size of optical spheroid ($\ell_{x}, \ \ell_{y}, \ \ell_{z}$) is (1.0168, 1.02, 1.0), the normalized gap length between adjacent optical spheroids is 0.15 to 0.16 or 0.185, and the rotation angles of θ and ϕ are 0.51^°^ and 0^°^, respectively. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
